Reality. The new Congress is far more likely to eliminate the minimum wage, not raise it.

She makes far more than 15 bucks an hour when she give speeches to goldman sachs.
That is unnecessary.

They don't need her anyway; I'm sure a strike will convince President-elect Trump and the Republican Congress to raise the minimum wage.

I'm glad to see him working with the Democrats instead of forming a new party.

President-elect Trump has already called for it, Speaker of the House Ryan has called for it, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has "embraced" the idea.

Respect for the democratic process and giving Trump room to form a government.
After that, she'll be back.
