With gas prices soaring, the socialist might as well make it $50 an hour.
Sounds like he needs to move to a less “hip” city where he can afford to live on his skill set.
If the minimum wage for any toothless moron is over $20 an hour, what will skilled employees demand?
The are beyond stupid with this minimum wage crap. Clearly all prices will rise of minimum wages are increased, pushing up rents for those still employed. The losers will have to go on welfare — so they’ll have to raise welfare payments too or the poor unemployed will have to move out of Seattle.
Better make it $75 an hour. That way they can afford their $15 cup of coffee and $85 lunch menu.
What does “livable wage” mean?
I hear rats and their cohorts say it a lot. “Livable” for whom? A married college grad with 4 kids ? A never-married high school dropout with 3 kids? A teen working the drivethrough who lives with their parents? A single legislator with a gambling habit? All these people will likely have different opinion for what defines “liveable”.
San Francisco has a minimum wage of $10/hr(highest of any city in the nation). Business owners there also must pay another $1.23 to $1.85 an hour per employee for health-care coverage if they don’t offer health insurance. San Francisco is also the only city in the state that charges a payroll tax of 1.5 percent; it also mandates nine paid sick days annually per employee. And yet they have more panhandlers and homeless than anywhere I’ve recently visited in the US and has the highest rental rates in the country if you exclude Manhatten.
We don’t want to turn our country into Eurofrisco-Nice place to visit, couldn’t ever afford to live there.
