Eight months after voters approved it, Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed the repeal of a law Thursday that had guaranteed paid sick leave to workers and inflationary adjustments to the minimum wage.

The move marked a major victory for the state’s largest business group and a frustrating defeat for workers’ rights advocates, who had spent years — and millions of dollars — building support for the successful ballot measure. The repeal will take effect Aug. 28.

      You should leave. It’s not going to get any better and they will just use your income to pay for their shenanigans.

        I wish I could. Can’t afford to live anywhere else. I’m just doing what I can to make my community better. It makes me feel a little less hopeless.

          It’s the same shit everywhere. You get to choose where you deal with it. If you’re in the right spot it’s much easier.
