Per Webster dictionary, the definition of a “Living Wage” is “a wage sufficient to provide the necessities and comforts essential to an acceptable standard of living.” [a]  But the proposed “Equal Pay Act,” requires that people in the same workplace “be given equal pay for equal work.” [b] These two standards, while simultaneously being adopted by leftists, contradict one another quite easily. After all, all one needs to warrant a higher living wage is a larger household budget, which can easily arise if one individual chooses to have a large family and a stay-at-home spouse. Does that mean said individual should NOT be paid equally to his/her counterparts?

The first thing Snape asks Harry is “Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?” According to Victorian Flower Language, asphodel is a type of lily meaning ‘My regrets follow you to the grave’ and wormwood means ‘absence’ and also typically symbolized bitter sorrow. If you combined that, it meant ‘I bitterly regret Lily’s death’.
