Extreme wealth is deactivating our democracy - CCPA We must address the root of the problem: the distribution of power and wealth

“When the elite call for ‘ #belt-tightening’ and ‘ #productivity gains,’ they are not asking the #billionaires to sacrifice their #capitalgains; they are asking the #workingclass to sacrifice their #publicservices, their #wages, and their #time” #MarkCarney www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Beyond today’s headline bounce, the labor market continues to deteriorate under Trump's economic mismanagement: hiring has ground to a halt, paychecks are shrinking, and workers are giving up on finding a job altogether. A single month of modest gains can't reverse the damage that the president has inflicted on working families. Breyon Williams Chief Economist GROUNDWORK

Minimum wage rises to £12.71 an hour as firms warn of impact! #news #worldnews #uknews #uk #wages #costs #jobs #workers

To put it plainly: #inflation occurs when #wages rise faster than
productivity. That’s all there is to it. The question that remains is why the public
debate nevertheless pretends that inflation is a phenomenon of impenetrable
complexity.

About time. If you are considered old enough to vote, enlist in the military, legally buy alcohol, get a tattoo, and watch a R-rated film, among other things, then you should be paid an adult wage. #wages #auspol #income #payrates
