i think obama should declare that anyone who is a coal worker in any of those coal places will be paid a living wage until they find a new means to support themselves and then he should just ban coal mining

Coal miners make top-of-pay-scale money in the areas they work in. A coal miner in West Virginia makes more than a professor at WVU.

YMMV, I dunno what minimum wage is like in the UK but someone working at picking or a cash register in the USA can't support themselves.
UK: $10.61 (£6.31)

I unironically hope a minimum wage hike causes the last grocery store hold outs to install self checkouts.

also amazon is cool but I got a package today that was delivered by fedex instead of ups and I hope its just temporary

amazon uses whichever shipping carrier is a fraction of a cent cheaper on a particular day. why do you hate capitalism?

FedEx is the worst. the ups guy leaves the package in front of my door whereas the fedex guy somehow cannot enter the building, won't take a signature, and must love the 20 "just fuccccking leave it dude" messages he gets a week.
