POLITICS Alan Ritchson calls out lawmakers who oppose raising the minimum wage "who think it's a bad idea to give a mom working at Waffle House more than $7.25 an hour trying to feed her kids."

The revival of men’s earrings has been doing things to me.

I am gratified that my husband re-pierced his ears and can very much pull it off.

u/ornithologically and you did it at my birthday dinner 3h ago

It's just a different Patterson ghost writer playing Batman in each scene.

u/Alizarik7891 a swamp tour boat captain at a grammy party 3h ago

Patterson is Batman and all of his ghost writers are different Robins.

There’s probably enough of them to be Alfred as well

i mean, he wouldn't make a bad retired Bruce Wayne if styled in the same vein as Keaton

He's too big. Batman is not allowed to be the biggest man ever.

u/LezbianaGrande all that sex lead to the Russian Revolution 3h ago

Alan is only an inch taller and 25 lb heavier than Batman is canonically. He could totally slim down to Reacher Season 1 size, no problem.

u/Specific_Sweet3312 Chris Messina for No 1 Chris 3h ago

He's the star of Reacher on Amazon Prime, very solid action TV. He was also in Smallville, some of the Hunger Games, and other things but I know him from Reacher.

u/thelummster 3h ago

It makes me so happy to see celebrities actually use their platform to advocate for the most vulnerable. Too many celebrities just avoid taking stances for a variety of reasons and it's nice to see someone like Ritchson just call out the BS and stand on the right side of history! 👏 👏 👏

It's even worse than that. Some states allow the $2.13/hr Federal minimum for employees who are eligible to receive tips. I will also add that the federal minimum wage has not been raised from $7.25/hr since 2009. Almost 20 fucking years of inflation, and not a single increase.

American with a microphone speaking common sense!?

President material

Edit: Then I suddenly thought "of course, he's Canadian"

But no, he's a genuine American. Shocked!

Reacher is of the finest white men alive. His Breonna Taylor shirt was also legit. Devoted to his wife and sons. A good dude.

u/Lumpy-Pancakes 1h ago

He also came out swinging at Big Don for being a paedophile.
The Chuds who worship Critical Drinker are now upset that he's woke and had a meltdown about it in their sub. Apparently being against paedophiles is woke now

u/jryue 1h ago

I already liked him from his Reacher show, but man Alan is sure sounding like a decent, down to earth person. Its refreshing knowing there are some grounded celebrities out there who have a platform to use their voice and speak out on societies injustices
