Oakland has elected Barbara Lee as mayor, who has previously advocated for a significant federal minimum wage increase to $50 per hour. Her proposal is based on a United Way report suggesting a family of four needs $127,000 annually to live comfortably in the Bay Area. This policy suggestion has sparked a wide range of reactions, from economic critique to support, focusing on the potential impacts on businesses and living standards. End Wokeness @EndWokeness
