It's putting a bandaid on a life threatening wound. The minimum wage needs raised, but that won't help anything long term.
Perfection is the enemy of good, or in this case progress.
There will be no single piece of legislation to fix everything. There will be lots and this is one.
The enemy of cures is symptom relief.
No single Representative FPtP Elector will fix the distance from civilian emancipation of capitalist slavery.
