    Edit: regarding the effort posts. I also appreciated the fact that /r/badphil was designed for just pillorying bad takes. It wasn’t a subreddit that was about “learning” (it had a specific rule against learning, in fact). It was just great when I could learn. I think there’s room for both. Effort, and vent.

    “We are not going to give up the fight to raise the minimum wage to $15 to help millions of struggling American workers and their families,” Schumer said in a statement. “The American people deserve it, and we are committed to making it a reality.”

    narrator voice: they gave up the fight immediately, because they never wanted to fight it in the first place.
