👏 A minimum wage should be a living wage!
🇪🇺 The EU directive for minimum wage was just upheld by the European Court of Justice.
This means:
• 20% increase in wages for 25 million workers
• 10% drop in the rate of poverty for people who are working

The cost of health insurance rose steeply for a third year in a row in 2025, reaching just under $27,000 for a family plan, according to an annual survey.
The Average Cost of a Family Health Insurance Plan Is Now $27,000
Higher spending on chronic diseases, weight-loss drugs and hospital bills helped drive the increase.
