R’s better get onboard to an MW increase. I’d say counter with $10 and settle at $11 or $12.

Why? Only nut jobs care. The real world does not run on minimum wage.

Let’s Do It!
$24 it is!
Let’s sit back and watch it burn to the ground. Then, maybe we can open a channel to start teaching economics 101.

Yo, Sandy, you make almost 200 thou a year with virtually no expenses.
Why don't you start a business and pay your employees 15 to 24 dollars an hour and let us know how that works out for you?

The minimum wage is textbook fascism. If you want a forced wage, unionize. It’s none of the government’s business in a FREE country.
HOW DARE THEY tell a business what to pay their employees.

Meh. If we’re going to do it, let’s go all in. $100 and everybody will be “rich”.

Well, it would be preceded by some extra fun and entertaining hyperinflation. So there is a silver lining. :)

It is an issue that is making the R's look like the some kind of Simon LeGree party. It is undermining the pro worker MAGA party take over of the GOP. It is working for the Democrats. It divides Republicans.
A small increase in the min wage to $10 or $11 is not going to hurt anyone.

AOC should set every single wage in the country.
150,000,000 different salaries is an afteenoon’s work.
Then she can get back to cancelling Dr. Suess.
