Here we go

Everyone will celebrate this hollow victory. But not realize this will increase the cost of living nationwide and it will further decrease the value of the dollar

That’s happening anyway so what

People are saying cost will go up with minimum wage. Well what’s the excuse before? Like Georgia’s minimum wage is the same it was when I first got into the workforce years ago. Cost of living def didn’t stay though. Imagine trying to live off 7.25 today It wasn’t shyt 20 years ago and it ain’t shyt now. Pay them folks

Why would I offer a rebuttal to something so fukking ridiculous? These wages been stagnant but the prices increase. So tired of you bytch ass nikkas.

Word?

Is that what has been creating the high cost of living and wealth gap over the last 40 years?

All those minimum wage increases?

Oh right. That wasn't it.

I could tell majority of ya'll are either unemployed or underemployed the way ya'll are clueless on how the economy works

If the minimum wage raises, this will greatly effect Small Businesses. Their business expenses will still be there, now they have an added burden of higher labor cost for an unskilled worker. Now the unskilled workers who are getting higher wages will become harder to employ because Smaller Businesses will find them too expensive to hire, and too expensive to train. This will cause more minimum wage workers to be unemployed

This also effects the manufacturing and shipping industry in that because unskilled/low skilled labor in these industries are more expensive, it makes manufacturing costs and shipping costs more expensive, which in turn makes groceries, clothing, restaurant food, electronics, etc etc more expensive for the consumer

So you expect employees,to live off of minimum wage for 30 years, and still remain loyal to employers?
