Nobody earns a billion dollars

Hi comrades, I'm new here, how do we feel about posting Mastodon content on Lemmy?
The minimum wage is a complete joke. Tie it to median rental prices of the area. Tie it to inflation at the very least (after adjusting for the past decades of inflation). Tax capital and not labor. There is a lot that could be done, but we keep voting these geriatric vampires to DC and they can't seem to give a shit about most of the country.
Or the government could just set price controls on everything necessary for life. Already happened under Nixon
Nixon also passed a windfall tax on US corporations after the hyper-inflation of the 70's.
