Disagree. It should be whatever the market will bear for your skill set. Minimum wage jobs are for teenagers and retired greeters at Walmart looking for something to do. My skill-less 19 year old daughter made 13.00 an hour as a checker at HEB over winter break.Quote:
I fully agree that basic minimum expenses like rent, bills, and groceries should be covered by that wage.
True story, I made .25 an hour when I started working. I was 18 and just graduated from high school. Thirty five years later I made $75.00 per hour. I worked for the same company the entire time. My husband and I put two children through college with zero debit when they graduated. I was able to save enough to have a good retirement. All of this, was with a high school education and lots of hard work. People today seem to be unable to wait and work for the things they want. If you get everything at the beginning where is the sense of accomplishment when you get the things you have always dreamed of?91AggieLawyer said:AggieDub14 said:C@LAg said:
It amazes me that people really think they should be able to live a life of luxury on a minimum wage income. I fully agree that basic minimum expenses like rent, bills, and groceries should be covered by that wage. But you shouldn't be able to live fancy. And you sure as hell shouldn't be retiring at 65 as a cashier.
You CAN'T be serious. I had exactly ONE job that was minimum wage. ONE. My first. I was 16.
Actually, had I known about another place where I ended up working a year later, I never would have worked at the first place and made minimum wage. Most of my friends were making more than minimum wage before we graduated HS. In fact, if you weren't, you didn't say anything.
wait 'til they see how much a sandwich cost when everyone working in the sandwich shop and every company employee that supplies goods to the sandwich shop is making $25/hr.Ag87H2O said:Wait 'til some lib tells her she has to buy two teas.C@LAg said:
The first 2 articles shown here are part of the problem. I would hazard to guess, working age Gen Z probably follows the same trend.AgDad121619 said:. Most folks will just decide to make a sandwich at home.Boozer92 said:
She means sandwiches are about to cost $25. Everyone middle class and below needs to feel the pain. Leveling the field is never about increasing wealth. Always about spreading poverty

How do the 81-million feel about the MSM and political power brokers bypassing the constitutional process for removal of the president by forcing the person they elected to resign?
After all, we talking about the most popular president of all time here by 7-million votes.
Point is that nobody elected the people forcing Biden to resign, and the 81-million that voted for him seem perfectly ok with it.
No pushback at all on this.
