Totally unrelated, Amazon just announced a pay bump for its drivers.

Just spitballing.

Working Families Party (workingfamilies@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 18-Jun-2024 11:12:36 JST Working Families Party “No one wants to work anymore!!!”
As of February, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the U.S. is $1,217/month. To comfortably afford that, you need to make at least $23.40/hr.
It’s not a worker shortage, it’s a shortage of wages we can actually live on.
