If indexed, that original minimum wage today would be somewhere around $22 - or the minimum wage McDonalds employees in Europe today earn.

My nephew and his wife can't stand Cuomo for renaming the Tappan Zee Bridge for his father. I think there's a lot of people who find Cuomo grating for one reason or another, even silly ones, and I think there's less fondness for him than the media was implying back during Cuomo's glory days of the pandemic. A long way of saying I think folks are ready to see him leave.

If the only way they can increase minimum wage is to hold covid relief hostage to it, then perhaps it needs to be pulled out and debated on its merits instead of trying to guilt everyone into raising the minimum wage so that people can get their relief checks. I think it DOES need more debate

Other than that we've stopped buying their products, even though we miss them. So Goya does get $1.39 from us every couple months,
