Ocasio-Cortez to Cruz: Your resignation is 84 days past due

Yes, I responded to that. Believing that a $15/hour minimum wage is livable in poorer parts of the US already sets the "livable" minimum wage in New York to around $24-$30. If, in fact, she thinks it's only a half-measure. Then she doesn't even think that $15/hour minimum wage is livable in any place in the US and her own constituents are now needing something more like a $30-$40 minimum wage. So that makes her proposition of $15 EVEN WORSE. Because at that point, it isn't just her failing to account for cost of living when looking at the minimum wage from place to place. It's now failing to accoutn for cost of living on a half measure that SHE IS FIGHTING FOR.
