Topic	"People don't deserve to make 15+ an hour"
I Like Toast 12/27/19 6:47:03 PM #121:	LightningAce11 posted... More pay leads to a more productive and better workforce. People earning 7 bucks an hour that doesn't care about them are likely to not give a shit about the job themselves. Raising minimum wage doesn't solve this and arguably makes it worse since people that were making more will now be making it. While some would get raises, not all would. Minimum wage is well overdue for a raise. It should be 9-10/hr at least and I'd be okay with 11-12. Some cities obviously need higher, but that's not a national problem to solve. But either way the amount of effort spent on something that impacts like 2% of the work force is exactly where they want you to focus your rage. If we're pushing for any meaningful federal law for workers. Go for mandatory pto, lower overtime from 40 to 35 hours (and maybe something for people working multiple part time jobs, but that's again a small minority and could make it harder for them to get those second jobs). Maternity leave, for both the mother and father(both get x days one gets x+y). And countless other worker rights America is lacking. --- If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all <cite>I Like Toast posted [p:932131813] in "Peop...
