  Whoever wrote the meme lives in a blue state that increased it, and will never think to care about any of the permanent underclass of flyover morlocks in other states.

    … Who keep voting in people who make no secret of actively wanting to make their lives worse because they promise to hurt the outsiders of constantly varying form.

    Stupid does as stupid is.

      There are also non-idiots in these states. It’s much more of a urban/rural divide. Please save us…

        Also a result of unfettered corruption and indoctrination

        I am helpless to do anything other than offer my well wishes and suggest you arm yourself, as is your country’s custom. I fear it’s going to get a lot worse yet.

  And in the state of Wyoming, you can actually have a minimum wage below the federal minimum, of a mighty $5.15/hour. I don’t know how common it it, as I think a business can’t get away with it if they receive any federal funding, but it is technically legal for them to pay you less than $7.25/hour in some circumstances, aside from the lower wage for tipped workers.
