Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day." When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

Gregg Wallace says complaints came from ‘middle-class women of a certain age’ Not the best defence. Also a bit of gauntlet other women to come forward. Implication - working class or young women would read this as banter. I suspect this isn’t true. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
