What do you all think the guy in the article should do? Finish EMT training. but when a EMT makes 16 dollars a hour and a refugee is making 15 at McDonald's after they "fought for 15" then what should he do? I think about this a lot. As a chemist, I see close to $30/hour. If min. Wage goes to $15; part of me feels that I should be getting paid $50-60. I worked hard for my degree. And that's how inflation devours the minimum wage into functionally being what it was before. You've gained nothing but a slightly larger number. So what's your solution? We've tried the alternative of just having stagnate wages since the 80s and it's not working out. We continue to test the limit of how expensive things can get before we have a violent collapse. Unless they can convince their employer otherwise, maybe the lowly chemist, the fast food worker of the lab, sucks it up and realizes they were never worth 3-4x the productivity of a retail employee. It's no slag to them that the fast food worker can now afford health insurance. Maybe corporations take the hit instead of sitting on trillions of dollars in cash only to be used on stock buy backs. Maybe the government supplements wages and education instead of bs military interventions since it's clear corporations are trending towards not needing to pay the world's population a living wage. --- lions and panthers oh my <cite>foreverzero212 posted [p:912122600] in millennial...
