  Minimum wage should absolutely be a livable wage. Go direct your comments to the billionaire class stealing all the wealth.

    I agree, not sure why everybody assumed I didn’t think people didn’t deserve a living wage. I do. But at the same time be prepared to pay more for things because we all know that corporations will pass along the better wages to the consumer. God forbid the ceo make less and not making record profit

      Even if you didn’t intend for that comment to come across that way, just know that the reasoning of “prices are going up because of minimum wage” is the go-to talking point of the “conservatives”. Magically the wealth disparity, negligible marginal tax rate on billionaires, or record profits never seem to be mentioned.

  That’s awesome! Should be more, but a good start. Better than revising child labor laws.

  Way to demean people busting their ass for your lazy ass who can’t cook for themselves. You realize these people work in stressful situations and aren’t just “flipping the burger” right? They deserve a living wage.

    I never said they didn’t deserve a higher wage but people complain about price of things. If you want living wages for all you need to be prepared to pay for it
