  They need to make a one time minimum wage pay adjustment to match the inflation rate.

  One time adjustment… One time every year or so…

  That would be too much like right though wouldn’t it?

    There should not be a national minimum wage. It should be regional and based on a standard of living. It should be adjusted up or down twice a year. The national minimum wage is a feel good idea but deeply flawed.

    San Francisco and Cleveland Ohio do not have the same cost of living.

      I can totally agree to that.

      Any which way you twist it, it’s been forever since minimum wage has been properly adjusted, while the prices of practically everything have been going up the whole time.
