Well, I’ve never been to England
But I kinda like the Beatles
Well, I headed for Las Vegas
Only made it out to Needles

Must be near it
Feels so good
Oh, it feels so good

They can pass it all they want, but theres no way it would be Constitutional. You are a bright-eyed optimist.

Maybe it’s not too late to invest in automated (customer self-serve) kiosks for quick-serve restaurants. Such devices cost less than $15 an hour (over time) and are never late.

Brown actually said Economically, minimum wages may not make sense. But he said work is not just an economic equation, calling labor part of living in a moral community.

Not to mention the price of gas
Went through there a couple weeks ago. $0.60 drop crossing the state line.

“many legal people actually only earn minimum wage”
I have read 2 million. This means, from my point of view, over 600,000 will loose their jobs as follows:
I have 3 employees I pay $10/hr.
I have to pay $15/hr. I fire one employee and the total wages are still the same.

Perhaps a bit off-topic: I was considering the oft cited Laffer curve e.g. optimal tax rate that maximizes govt ‘income’, and concluded that it doesn't work within the liberal mindset. In the conventional view, the left end is zero taxation, so the government collects no money. At the right end is 100% taxation, and since there is no incentive to collect a paycheck, no one participates and tax receipts are again zero. Somewhere in the middle lies an ‘optimal’ tax rate people are willing to pay that maximizes government tax receipts. But in the liberal mind, forced slave labor is entirely acceptable, so the right end of the curve (100% tax rate) actually is the ideal maximum tax rate.

One of the worst jobs ever has to be these poor sign-waving folks. But, it is a job - and probably minimum wage.
So this weekend I was driving in a neighboring town and saw where the job has been replaced by a machine.
Told my teenage son that this is what happens when they raise minimum wages.

Liberals are stuck up pigs. No jobs not worth $15/hr is allowed to be performed in Kali. So, an $8/hr job or a $5/hr job is forbidden in Kali by the liberals.
Liberals HATE low wage people. They are snooty stuck ups.
Liberals are the most fascist, hate-filled, mean-spirited, envious, resentful, vicious, close-minded, violent, murdering, censoring, horse-punching, book-burning, ignorant, uneducated, unskilled, childish, prejudiced, racist, women-hating, man-hating, perverted, thieving, destructive, American-hating, Christian-hating, muslim-loving, communist, vulgar, dirty, smelly, regressive, restrictive, prohibitive, bed-wetting, cop-killing, and scared little lying thumbsucking idiots God has ever created.

These fools never get it. When that $15 an hour kicks in all that extra money-—if they managed to keep their job will be taken up in higher costs on everything from food to clothes and the result, they are right back where they started.
Liberal economics=spreading the misery around.

I dont know where you gassed up but. On the Bullhead Parkway, there is a Maverick station that is the cheapest around.
In Kingman, the Safeway or Smiths-Stockton Hill Rd, or the Maverick/truck stops on route 66 east-Andy Devine.

No matter what truth you reveal about popular liberals, the American people will always seem them as “caring” about them.
