This article makes it clear that the company doing the dumping is following the law though. So the blame for this is on the environment agency that sets the limits, no? I'm not sure how your comment relates to either the article or the headline.

You don't say...

right to work means you can't be forced to join a union. at-will employment is the right for employers to fire you whenever and however. fyi.

Making me read that is psychological warfare. BRB, I'm going to call Geneva and tell her you are violating her convention.

What is gqp? I've seen that a few times, and 4 seconds of Internet searching has yielded no useful information.

Time to clean the lint out of the charging port

Who is Ernest Cline? The Eragon guy?

The "why" doesn't matter. It's not real bacon. It's turkey strips

Limp ass bacon, bruh

The bacon, too

If they need to save some cash they can release some people...

Fuck them, I'm no snitch

Is Maine the state that doesn't actually have any trans athletes, but stood on principal? Hard to keep it all straight.

For anyone that isn't aware of the 50501 protests (like I wasn't), it's nothing to do with Webster county Iowa, zip code 50501. It's 50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement.

You're right about how many states have minimum wage either explicitly set to 7.25 or lower, or tracking the federal minimum wage (including Georgia, with a state minimum wage of 5.50). I assumed there were fewer of those states, because the number of workers that are being paid the minimum wage (or lower) is 1.1% and dropping.

I guess the question I was trying to allude to is: with fewer and fewer people being paid the minimum wage, and with such enormous disparity between cost of living within a state let alone between states, does it really matter that the federal minimum wage is below the poverty line? There are places in the US where you can live decently on 7.25/hr, and there are places where you would feel squeezed even at 40/hr. National metrics like this one are interesting but not really representative

Boy, fuck Idaho apparently

With most states having their own minimum wages higher than the federal one, how relevant is this really?

I mean to be fair to the framers, we've also changed everything about how we elect the president since their time

I sure hope not
