    The US desperately needs a third party...no seriously.

    @Ockydub I was actually going to post the link below as a separate thread (still might next week when I get back), then I just saw yours. This is kind of related to wage issues, as it shows that a group of social entrepreneurs is actually thinking about lives and sustenance in a post-industrial age of automation:

    Moving Forward on Basic Income
    To mitigate poverty, Y Combinator set to launch minimum income plan

    And since it's being done with private funds, I really could care less what the political class, left or right, thinks of this experiment. This is beyond living wage, and deals with minimum living income.Thats why it's hard for me to get worked up about electing the next Chief Executive Messiah. Don't have time for political circle jerking....

    This is why Clinton needs to tread carefully. She does not want to piss people off to where they won't show up to make sure she wins.

    I watched this a couple of times and from the lay-out of the room and the nameplates that are clearly visible it appears that those voting for the living wage amendment were the members nominated by Sanders. I can't see the nameplates of those who voted against but by elimination they would be the Clinton nominees. So it is just more chicken-hearted trimming from Clinton. Social justice, just not too much.
