Cost of living in CA demands that min wage be that high. So I ain't mad at them.

I thought your argument yesterday was that small businesses could not afford to pay the increased wages and would go out of business.

I so thought you said people doing menial jobs don't deserve 15/hr.

You can't read. I said.

Adjust the 1968 minimum wage of $1.60 to today's dollars.... around $12.10/hr, federally. The states can determine their own min wages based on the cost of living in those cities/counties/states.

You also said,

A person making 25,168/yr. A cell phone 1200/yr max. Also an extra $3/hr is not pennies. You pay people accordingly so there's a business left to pay people.

You paying 20 plus commission for flipping burgers, washing dishes, or delivering newspapers? Damn. I'm impressed.

So even worse. You want to pay workers based on their productivity, but don't want to include worker productivity in your min wage increases?

If you did, you'd be looking st a min wage in 2019 at over 19/hr.

I'm going to need you explain your argument in a way that makes @88m3 comment about you being an elitist incorrect.

Actually I don't and won't waste my time with misguided interpretations. $15/hr min wage is good for CA because of the cost of living there. In MS, AL, or TX, $15/hr is overkill. The cost of living in those places are significantly less.

Cost of living isn't merely tied to inflation. Hence my question, why are using that as your metric?

Leaving it up to counties/cities seems even better than leaving it up to states.
Good bump.
