Topic	You can't afford much on minimum wage... but
0AbsoluteZero0 08/05/18 12:24:13 AM #17:	DarkTransient posted... 0AbsoluteZero0 posted... DarkTransient posted... Minimum wage should be a liveable wage. The problem is, every time minimum wage goes up, the cost of living goes up even more, and thus, people on minimum wage are worse off. Additionally, as much as they might demand it, not everyone who was previously slightly above minimum wage will get a payrise to stay above it, meaning there are now more people at that bottom line - a bottom line that's now worse than it was before. Work on reducing the cost of living. Do I know exactly how to achieve that? No. But that's going to achieve more than just saying "oh hey, instead of you getting $9 when you need $10 to live, you're now getting $10 when you need $12 to live". You seem to be suggesting that the cost of living is rising in large part due to minimum wage increases, and you couldnt be more wrong. There is little to no correlation between the two. Imagine actually thinking this. So you truly believe that the main driver behind cost of living increases is changes in the minimum wage? --- -The Admirable <cite>0AbsoluteZero0 posted [p:906287986] in You can...
