    The cost of living increases while wages do not reflect the same. A person working for minimum wage isn't likely to afford a place to live with essential needs to also survive or merely just a place to live. The question remains is this keeping the US in poverty and depending programs to survive.

    minimum wage has always been a huge topic for many hardworking Americans. I agree that the cost of living has increased due to the coivid 19 outbreak. yet our minimum wage remains the same leading to many Americans not affording the cost of living.

    I agree that we need to protect the impoverished and the working class by raising the minimum wage. It is important to acknowledge that cost of living is going to follow the wages as it always does. If we want to truly change things for people with wages, then we need to establish a consistent cost of living to accompany the minimum wage.

    Biden has already started to reverse many of the Trump orders regarding the southern border that America shares with Mexico. One of the most important of these is correcting the child/parent separation policy.
  • cla2208696 on 02 Feb 21
     
    This is definitely an important problem that needs to be solved, children should not be separated from their parents. i know it is a difficult issue because it deals with immigration, but the fact that at times they are separated for years is unreasonable.

    Schools are discriminating against color people. Now allowing them to have the supplies they need. Telling them they are not smart enough to understand a concept based off the color of their skin. Ignoring the bullying that comes from not only the student but the faculty as well.
  • edp2021 on 02 Feb 21
     
    I completely agree with this article. I feel that if children are allowed the same resources and are taught how to combat racism from a young age, future generations will be safer and more peaceful.
