Sorry but I'm criticizing your initial reply to the fact that wage increases are statistically high. Yes, 70 cents raise is a lot for a grocery worker. And it's especially important, as OP said, when compared to the rest of the world US is rising faster.

The "2/3 of states" reply, while factual, was misleading as well as tangential to the original point you were replying to.

Idealism has an important place, but not when it results in pure cynicism

It's only a lot for a grocery worker if cost-of-living is similarly low. It is not.

That wasn't my opinion. It's statistically a higher percent raise than average.
