Are people asking for too much now? I'm sorry but a $15 minimum wage is still too low...

[Crayola Coyote]

For you dumbasses suggesting a minimum wage at 15 dollars an hour is still low. Whats the point of going to College and getting a job thats starts at 25 dollars an hour when you can just drop outta/barely graduate HS and get a minimum wage job for 20 dollars an hour?

THIS.

This generation doesn’t get it. They’ll just replace y’all with machines... McDonald’s, Burger King, Walmart. A higher minimum age isn’t the entire answer.

People need to focus on making themselves more valuable and acquiring an in demand skill.

This.
people don’t understand that a higher minimum wage is the silent killer.

Why not $100 an hour for everybody?.... fukk it.... Don't even get an education... Grab a spatula and go!....

Lmao

Agreed.

They better go to school or trade school.

I don't support McDonald's workers earning 20 an hour. Thats ridiculous.

Higher minimum wage=more automation, more automation=less jobs, less jobs=higher competition for jobs, higher competition=lower pay.

Basic Income gotta come in, or else capitalism itself will collapse from lack of disposable income

Bullshyt!! People cry about the cost of healthcare, car mechanics etc. Cry about shytty doctors, shiitty mechanics, shytty lawyers, shytty trade workers.

Nobody wants to address this. People Who thinking about $$$ over quality of work is how everything falls apart. Even down to music.

What was the Og minimum wage and what would that amount be in 2020 with inflation?

If the minimum wage kept up w/ inflation and productivity, it would be near $25/ Hour today

When FDR instituted the minimum wage, it was supposed to be a living wage

"No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country

By ‘business’ I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level — I mean the wages of decent living," - FDR

We keep on this path we're on and one day you guys will wake up and the only jobs deserving of a living wage are doctors, lawyers, CEOs, and entertainers.

Automation was coming anyway. UBI needs to offset the loss of income for folks
