Ah, the article’s proposal was so absurd I suffered cognitive dissonance for a minute. I’d not heard any serious proposals to bump minwage over $15/hr.
At $22/hr, gasoline prices will rise to ~$6.82/gal. All else being equal, gas per gal costs about 1/3rd an hour of the gas station clerk’s pay.
LOL! How do you figure that? Pull that out of your bung hole?
So I should expect a big bump in my retirement and SS check then? Oh, they haven’t addressed that? Surely they’ll take care of us seasoned citizens right? I think even nannie bloomers has a plan for us. :-)
