This is what Twitter looked like last time the federal minimum wage was raised btw……In 2009.

if you're migrating to mastodon from bluesky i have one tip: you gotta write out "jesse singal". if you just say "i left bluesky to get away from js" they will agree with you but think you are talking about javascript

"competition is how everyone improves"

No. Cooperation is how everyone improves. Get that fucking brain worm out of your head. No more fucking secret-keeping to preserve an edge in "the market" and stifling the free exchange of ideas.
