sometime after 2010, for almost every cause of death, this changed.
The last time the federal minimum wage increased to it’s current $7.25/hr was in 2009.
In 2008 we had a demand for universal healthcare, voted in a guy who campaigned on it, and immediately capitualted to a poison pilled exclusionary anti worker Republican plan.
We never recovered from . Instead of unfucking what he did subsequent admins just doubled down.
I know this isn’t an Obama thread, but I recall when he won the election I was so hopeful. We were going to see real change and improvement. He could have leveraged the power of the people to get anything done. Just point us in a direction.
That was the last time I was hopeful about our prospects in America. Immediately, they said something to the effect of, “Thank you very much for the votes! We’re going to go behind closed doors and start the real work. God bless America.”
Obama is my most hated president for this reason. He had the organization and the mandate, and just pissed it away. Obama is directly responsible for Trump.

I knew in that moment we were fucked.
