Topic	House votes to raise minimum wage to $15/hour by 2025
Anteaterking 07/18/19 11:49:08 PM #148:	There's a lot of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring in this topic. If a business can't afford to pay its workers the minimum wage currently, we have no problem saying that business isn't viable. Increasing that minimum wage might mean that there are businesses at the margins that are no longer viable, but based on however you arrive at that minimum wage amount, the social responsibility to pay your workers at least that much doesn't change. bobbaaay posted... I've worked 30+ jobs in my life. The way people treat you in retail is far, far worse than in labor, trades, health care, or sales. Way, way worse. Don't pretend it isn't -- and just because the job is easy doesn't mean it's not stressful. @Balrog0 is right on this. The worst parts for me of working a retail job was that I wasn't really using my skills in any way, there was no real sense of accomplishment, and I had to deal with annoying management. I was still way less stressed than any job that I actually cared about though. It's just that when your work feels rewarding, it balances that stress. Like I think the minimum wage should increase because people should be paid better wages across the board, not because I have a romanticized view of the minimum wage earner. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:924884344] in House vote...
