The federal minimum wage hasn’t changed since 2009. Meanwhile, the cost of living has risen more than 50%, and most unhoused people are already working jobs. These facts are connected. Workers deserve wages that can actually support their lives.

I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?
