8. She flounced up to the dais with a handbag that cost more than most people's rent for the month

Fri Mar 5, 2021, 06:09 PM

Mar 2021

to cast a vote against raising the minimum wage to 15 an hour and then posted a sanctimonious statement to twitter about how she thinks no worker should live in poverty. It is one thing to be against raising the wage, it is quite another to behave like that while being against raising the minimum wage. On edit I am wrong about the handbag was thinking it was something else.
