There are places with $400/month rent where $22/hr would be plenty.

I used to work at mcdonalds

I got a 10-15 cent raise every year.

My pay did NOT scale when minimum wage went up.

I started out $1.75 ahead of minimum wage.

I left $0.85 cents above it after 11 years.

World would be way better. Internet was designed for use on the computer. I understand that brings classism and restrictions into the conversation. But early-mid 2000s internet was a much more desirable place to browse, end of story.
Late 2000s too, but after 2010 it became a mess.

I'm not sure what you think I said.

It's gotten harder since then. Also they are looking for the "right" candidates.

In fast food, they require you to cover your tattoos, irregardless of your personality, or your tats in general. (I got none)

They also require you to be clean shaven, but the GMs did not need to do that at all.

Will you hire someone to stay with them 24/7 to make sure the keep up on their meds? There are definitely people out there who can likely bounce back if they're given the help we're currently not giving them, but there are those who will not respond to that help. We can do much better than we're currently doing in terms of the number of shelters, resources for addiction, resources for mental health, and resources for housing, education, and jobs, but there are lost causes out there.

Do you know how job interviews work?

There wont be any work when more companies start to automate and lay off employees to make up for the $15. Unless they do what Mr. Bucket did in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and become an automation technician for the toothpaste cap screwing machines. ( )

No what im saying is a part time employes pay check would rise to whatever we deem consitiutes a living wage where as a full time employees would stay the same. That would lead to full time employees quitting or switching to part time, which means the amount of time the bussinesses are open is going to go down because lets be real most restraunts arent going to just hire more staff when they arent making as much profit

Yes. I remember when min wage went up, and the company had to raise those below min wage to the new wage, but those above minimum wage did NOT go up to scale.

You're the one oversimplifying things. Like I said already, making a certain percentage of the minimum wage or the prevailing wage isn't what's meaningful. What's meaningful is what you can get with your money. The research is pretty clear that low wage workers, including those making above the minimum wage, benefit based on that standard.

Would you like me to show you some of the best research in the area? I would be happy to share it with you.

It's the overall net effect for low wage workers, but that sucks for you. I know my mom got a wage increase even though she made over the minimum wage at Walmart. And I made minimum wage at McDonald's when it went up, my income went up too. What a good year for a low income household

Oh no, this is a long time ago. I make much more than that now.

One of the effects of womens lib was essentially doubling the size of the workforce.
When the supply of workers vastly increases, while the demand for workers stays mostly the same, downward pressure on wages happens. Or rather, happened.

It greatly decreases the need for jobs, at the same time, allowing them to tax *everyone* and not just men, as women were mostly 24hr moms.
