They need to stop fucking around with fixed values and use a calculation based off GDP, cost of living, and county of residence.
That would fix the actual problem though this way they can run on this issue for reelection when it gets crazy out of sync again.
Wild to see actual uplifting news in Uplifting News, instead of the usual headlines about things that shouldn’t have to happen in a more sane society.
Up until that last paragraph at least. Not that I’m for minors getting trans surgeries, but they were never getting those surgeries in the first place until they turn 18.

$17 * 40h / wk * 52 wk / yr = $35,360/yr. Yikes.
I think they expect you to work two or three jobs, so you total 60 hours per week
