Its not something you get to just wave in front of wal-mart.

Thats everything from barber shops to nail salons to that dude who fixes your car.

This ain't about Google, Apple, or some other big name you see on billboards on the way to work.

Thats what you're not getting.

i've listed alternatives, even industry specific minimum wage, and you're still acting like the MINIMUM is supposed to cover you.

Nah fam.

its not.

I'm as altrustic as I can be to the fellow man...but hell no.

Unless we're talking universal income, then a MINIMUM wage SHOULD NOT cover all your expenses if this also has to account for EVERY unskilled, uneducated, unexperienced worker in the country.

I support a wage increase...but if you're depending on minimum wage to get buy, NO AMOUNT WILL HELP YOU. $15 is just TOO much right now. Maybe later.

Thats the point.

cause dont think it'll just raise up the bottom and everyone else won't get paid more.

It'll feel alright for a short while, then you'll notice prices go up and you'll be BACK where you were.

The MINIMUM is not supposed to be a standard for your way of life.
