To: Repeal The 17th

get this............a few weeks ago local am radio interviewed a culinary chef for the Biltmore here.....now this chef is supposedly the best in town

so the issue was minimum wage

the radidio host ax’d how much a culinary grad can expect to make to start

answer...8.50 an hour til ya advance to veggie preparer which pays 9 an hour

then watched and successful, you advance to sauces and it pays 10 an hour

when ya finally get a shift able to prepare all orders ya get 14 an hour

the chef said if minimum goes to 15 per

he would lose help for the obvious reason flippin burgers pays more than a workin culinary degree

To: advertising guy

A person’s labor (what they do or what they know) has some natural economic “value”.
Minimum wage laws create an unnatural condition on the supply vs. demand equation of labor.

It has always struck me as bizarre that if you thought it was worth $3/hour
to keep the floors or the parking lot of your store clean,
and I was willing and able to do perform that task for $3/hour,
that it is against federal freekin’ law for you and I to come to that agreement.
