52 weeks x 40 hours = 2080 hours a year

2080 x $7.25 minimum wage = $15,080 a year

$15,080 / 12 months =
$1256.67 a month

Pre federal tax
Pre state tax
Pre social security
Pre rent
Pre car needs
Pre daycare
Pre clothing
Pre groceries
Pre utilities
Pre healthcare

But let’s lower taxes on the 1%

"The new billboards are designed to inform troops of legal resources … 'The [Southern Command] strikes … represent the most blatantly illegal act that this administration has had the military carry out.'"

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes

“Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

And/or they’re scared shitless for themselves and their families.

They need our help to reduce the amplification of lies by Fox News et al that turns up the level of duress on themselves and the country.

We don’t elect heroes. Yet we expect them to be heroes.

Fear paralyzes the feckless heart.

As much as I hate to say this, we can’t escape from this nightmare with the Democrats running anyone that’s black, brown, gay, a woman, or transgender for president and vice president.

What have we learned about America over the last decade that makes us think this could ever work?

WAKE UP!!!
