Minimum wage is not in a great place because even with a 40 hour week (which is not guaranteed) it will be a struggle to afford food and shelter. Yes, raising the minimum wage will affect the economy in a variety of ways, and some companies may raise some prices by a certain amount. But the most significant initial benefit will be that people earning minimum wage will now have to struggle less to afford food and shelter. And at some point you have to look at that and realize that the good outweighs the bad. Yes it wont be all good for everyone, but for the people it WILL be good for, it could be life changing. But hey, if we can instead get UBI instead then keep the minimum wage where it's at, but it doesn't seem like UBI is in the cards right now. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
