There will obviously be some jobs eliminated if the minimum wage rises. Some of those jobs will be low-wage and some will be in higher wage ranges. In exchange, there will be far, far more people making closer to a living wage.
FWIW, of the 27 million people who will experience increased wages, the CBO says 17 million are currently working below the $15 proposed minimum wage.

It's a big tent. I guess.
Would really like the reasoning behind her vote. And this gesture.

It also looks possible Manchin, after getting Biden to agree to drop 17 million Americans from receiving stimulus checks, is going to help Republicans try and slash the UI benefit included in the bill.

Manchin just needs to go, but unfortunately it's better to have him there and Mitch not in control than it would be to have a Republican there and Mitch running the Senate.

That statement by Sinema does not even remotely explain the gesture.

In other Senate Democrat news, it seems like many of them are committed to no particular political project other than making things worse than they could be.

What’s the matter, is he not doing your bidding Garrison? Joe hasn’t fallen in line with the Democrat agenda? He has a mind of his own? That’s unacceptable and Democrat land.

Just keep asking yourself, "would I rather that Mitch was in charge?" These "moderate Democrats" are making a power play just like any other Senators make power plays. They have been at the low end of the power totem pole for a long time now, and suddenly they are now the swing votes that all the politically-sexier Democrats need to keep happy. Hopefully they will remember that swing voting power usually comes and goes very quickly, and if they don't want to be marginalized (again) then they can't make too many enemies.

I remember how respectful you were of Romney when he voted to impeach Trump the first time.

I remember how respectful you were of Romney when he voted to impeach Trump the first time. Well honestly I’m disappointed in you. If there’s one thing I’ve always admired about you is that you are your own man totally. You don’t care if it’s liberal or conservative, you’re going to give your opinion and your truth. That’s what Joe Manchin does. He doesn’t always go along with his constituents and he doesn’t always go along with Congress. He’s his own man. Is that not what you want from a representative?

Or do you want a little bitch that goes along with Democrat bidding?
