Thaumaturge posted... I think the best way to describe you and your ilk is "failed human." Someone that looks human but failed to acquire any humanity and now just walk around as empty she'll parroting off right-wing talking points.
Honestly, people like you give Liberals a bad name. You don't get to spout of literal nonsense in then call someone "right-wing" for telling you REALITY.
Thinking unskilled labor needs to start at $33/hr, which is nearly 70k, which is more than I made out of college with my expensive highly difficult STEM degree for minimum labor isn't "progressive," it's fucking delusional. Not to mention 70k/yr is absolutely way above "living wage" given I know dozens of friends who live extremely comfortable for well under half that.
"Well, if you can't afford to pay that you shouldn't be a business!" Well, a vast majority of jobs in this country can't afford to pay people $33/hr, so you would literally just create mass unemployment with this policy.
You are no longer arguing for a living wage, you are arguing for people to pay you what you simply are not worth and what the economy cannot sustain. That's not a "Conservative talking point," this is you denying reality.
