——Cheap bastards. In Seattle, yous need $25 an hour to make a decent living.-——
They want a “living wage” not a decent wage....
I personally think my “living wage” should mirror Bill Gates, after all to be fair and equal we all need to live like Gates...
Maybe if the minimum wages go up to 15 dollars an hour they will only hire people who are worth 15 and hour and who can speak English. Since the people who are going to be paing these minimum wages are exactly the people who are supporting amnesty maybe this would teach them a lesson too.
Let ‘em have it and then let the windbag commies have to explain the consequences.
I think it should be $...,293,504,382,392.92 a picosecond you cheap b*st*rd!
I must be a racist.
Of course not. That requires critical thinking, can’t happen with idiots that don’t have the skill.
Agree.
The reality is this....once it goes into effect, and that evening the ‘gifted’ folks show up at McDonalds to find the quarter-pounder menu is now $14...they will ask the heck happened. Then they stop for some ice cream and find that a two-scoop cup is now $7.
Basically, after a week or two...they decide that they won’t be able to afford fast food, entertainment, or weekends out.
I do agree...there needs to be some inflation buffers built into this game, but the idea that ‘Marginal Mandy’ will spend the rest of her life in the minimum wage game and never get ahead....says more about your loser status in life, than the minimum wage. If by age 23, you haven’t moved on....there’s no hope, and you pretty much deserve minimum wage.
That’s exactly how many union wage rates are figured.
