Why stop at $15? Is that the magic number? I propose raising it to $1,000/hour, that should make everyone rich, all problems solved, even the RATS will be happy and hopefully shut up. Everything is solved, no need for welfare, health insurance, food stamps, WIC, no need for any assistance at all, everyone will be happy and live a perfect life. Utopia has finally arrived.
“Utopia has finally arrived.”
My utopia is when every liberal in America jumps into a volcano, including the First Yeti and Klownie the Kenyan.
In my early years I worked for $1.35 (minimum wage at the time). Along came the government and jumped the minimum wage to $1.50 and everybody was happy.
Unfortunately all the local merchants upped their prices the same percentage and that made it a 0 sum gain for workers.
This 0 sum gain for workers has been going on since the minimum wage came into existence.
The whole process will be reflected with the new $15 an hour government initiative, IMHO
Exactly! I don’t want to wait a half hour for a cake to bake at 325 degrees, so I just slip it into a Chinese oven at 1400 degrees and it’s done in a jiffy.
