An experiment regarding "Bernie supporter sexism"

Presumably a "Bernie supporter sexist" would not support a female VP teaming up with Bernie Sanders.

Therefore, to all Bernie supporters: Who do you support to be the Vice Presidential Democratic candidate?

How many U's?

Ok, help me out here... especially if you're from Brooklyn...

How many U's should be in Yuge?

$16 in 2016 = $15/hr in 2012 dollars

2012 = $15/hour
x1.02 inflation
2013 = $15.30/hour
x1.02 inflation
2014 = $15.61/hour
x1.02 inflation
2015 = $15.92/hour
x1.02 inflation
2016 = $16.24/hour

$16/hour is the new $15/hour.

So, $16 in 2016... pass it on!

Oh, and while we're on the subject, tell me why seniors and those with disabilities are not deserving/entitled to the equivalent income and level of dignity that accompanies living above the poverty line???

$16/hour x 40 hours/week = $640/week x 52 weeks = $33,280/year = $2,773/month.

Expand Social Security to provide a living income (oh, and tie it to COLAs specifically designed to elderly and disabled spending profiles).
