Help me decide on Amendment 2 in Florida: $15 Minimum Wage

[TEKBEATZ]

I voted yes.

I appreciate y'all thoughts.

Reading some of the responses got me thinking... particularly the one about the future value of our currency.

With that mind, I found this calculator:

2025 Inflation Prediction | Future Inflation Calculator

And the results convinced me to vote yes.

Reason being...I support a $12.xx minimum wage right now. With 3% inflation, that's almost $15 by 2025.



Seems fair.

i mean thats the thing, the implication from the anti groups is that it would happen tomoro and they always seem to get away with pushing that

every time its proposed its always like a dollar a year for 5 years. i refuse to believe that most businesses couldnt adjust in 5 years

what they really need to do is pass some law where its based on revenue, the idea that a walmart is held to the same standard as some liquor store down the street is disgusting. but i would never see that happening

This might be the first time neoliberal was used properly since I've been on the Coli.

Enjoy this rep, even if accidental.

Once upon a time, I lived on 8.50 while living in Dade. It wasn't pretty. Vote yes.

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

No and no. But voting yes would increase the CoL.. because these businesses aren't going to take the L. They'll just pass the costs along to the customers.

So, it will effect me.

And people will stop going to those places.

If you don't like raising the minimum wage you're a racist.

If you went through the struggle of that 5.15 minimum wage in Florida you should vote yes

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

clearly yes

any argument regarding businesses adjusting is invalid with the 5 year phasing

Most wages are also livable if you live with someone else too tbh. If you in a position where you're making 8-9$ an hour then you probably should consider whether or not you can live by yourself on that. I would 100% stay with my family if I made that little.[/QUOTE]


Everyone doesn’t have this option either. In fact a lot of people don’t so what would advise of them
