‘Minimum Wage’ was never intended to be a ‘Living Wage’.
It was a starting point for trainees and teens on summer jobs to get experience to earn a higher wage.
Now, The Left has turned it into a means to get paid exorbitant wages for little or no work.
It is also a way to get their sycophant UNIONS a free wage increase by raising their pay scales automatically for no other reason than the minimum wage has gone up, so, by contract their wages go up as well by the same amount.
It is a DEATH SPIRAL to any country’s economy that is maddeningly locked into the ignorance of socialism.
It never ends until the nation collapses under the weight of its own stupidity.....................
That would be a problem if unions were a threat. Since the private sector is 94% non-union I don't see this as a problem. It's not 1955 any more.
Actually it is the ancient tried and true tactic of Big Labor
A rising tide raises all boats. It’s called wage inflation
Biden is jointly owned by Big Labor and China
The REAL MINIMUM WAGE IS $ZERO
