We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Under Reagan's tax cuts, the average tax cut for the top 1% was 68x larger than the average cut for middle-class households.
Under Bush's tax cuts, it was 16x larger.
And under Trump, 36x larger.
The GOP has always governed for the privileged few.

I just heard that the Bureau of Labor and Statistics has been cut to the point that they can no longer gather data across the country. So the current inflation numbers may not be accurate. I was wondering why inflation is less than 3 percent
