Minimum wage for minimum work…
The federal minimum wage has not increased above $7.25 since 2009. Lately there has been a lot of controversy surrounding this issue. Many people have demanded an increase to $15 per hour, to make what they call a livable wage. While the minimum wage should be raised a little, it should go nowhere near that high. If minimum wage were to increase to $15 dollars per hour, or higher, the cost of living would skyrocket. Employers would have to raise the price of their products to compensate for what they would be losing by paying their employees so much. They…

But that doesn’t mean 2018 was without its hits, as the following alternative film choices shouldn’t be missed. ‘CHAPPAQUIDDICK’ > ‘VICE’ Both films deal with the commonality of political drama. “Vice” is more of a satirical political drama that commentates on the entrance into the Iraq War and the folly of the Bush administration. Highlighted here is the performance of Christian Bale as Dick Cheney. The film isn’t as hard hitting as the critics think. “Chappaquiddick,” however, is that hard hitting film.…
Women band together for good cause
When I was 15, I remember there being a few times when I told my mom there were no more pads. She didn’t really say anything but that’s when she and I had to use toilet paper as a substitute. I thought growing up that it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. But I remember this because that was one of the few times I really didn’t want to go to school. I never chalked it up to my mom not being able to afford it, but I never thought my daughters should have to go through that. I have…
New York doing the right thing
My body, my choice! These were the words of hundreds of women on Twitter following the Reproductive Health Act that New York Gov. Andrew Cuono signed into law Jan. 23. I will start off saying I’m pro-choice — yes, your body is your body. And yes, I believe every life is a blessing. But I think the government shouldn’t have a say when it comes to your body. But, before reading the law, I did take a step back and think why would someone want to get an abortion after 24 weeks. That seems to be the consensus among others…
