      Yeah that’s precisely what I said. Great reading comprehension there. It’s not a raise if it doesn’t keep up with inflation. Workers deserve fair compensation, not crumbs.

      If you’re on fire and someone pisses all over you, are you somehow supposed to be grateful? The rich are pissing all over us and expect crumbs to suffice.

      Why are you not outraged that it’s such a pittance?

        With this raise, since 2020 federal wages have risen 15.4%, and that’s for someone who worked the same job that whole time and didn’t advance. Why are you outraged at Biden giving a 5%+ raise this year to federal workers? Like why in the living fuck is your anger so utterly misdirected??
