Probably not, but that's not a reason not to raise the minimum wage.

Aren't EMT workers already criminally underpaid?

Might be a step down for some fast food workers.

I support higher pay for EMT but not fast food.

Honestly fast food should just be a stopgap job to save up some money and go to community college and get a real degree and real job. No one in their 20s should settle for fast food and think they'll live off that job for the rest of their life.

No and this is from someone in retail. I have my EMT-B and its worthless cause I make far more in retail management than I would as an EMT which is a crime in and of itself. The best EMT-B offer I found outside of Boston EMT was $13.75.

No, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't make a livable wage either.

If anything, both EMTs and fast food workers deserve a lot more. Some EMTs make like $11/hr.

They should both make at least enough to live on if they're working full-time. Maybe not luxuriously, but sufficient.

It's weird how people are so focused on some hypothetical degree of what people deserve that they don't give a shit what would actually make our society better. They would totally let segments of the population riot or waste away if they felt they deserved it, even if doing something even slightly differently could make our whole fucking system run more efficiently for everyone.
