  RE: https://mastodon.social/@JulianOliver/117017586999838411 This. We can't make it better; we can either try to prevent it from getting much worse or wait while it does get worse. Delay of decarbonisation is increasingly foolish policy.

  @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us Living Wage campaigns are certainly helpful in putting pressure on companies to boost the lowest wages they pay, and on the statutory minimum wage. Good to see this group turning their attention to pensions as well. There's also the issue of unemployment and disability benefits being far from adequate. Lots of work to do, but the most important is to change the culture to expect that all members of society are entitled to live decently. We may not fully end inequality...

  @IndyRichard Yes, you are correct to include Hawaii (and Alaska, which also has its own time zone). The question then becomes whether to include Puerto Rico, which would bring it to 7. But I think 1930's Germany covers all US time zones however you count them.
