    Interesting take. Genuinely curious—why do you have this stance?

    “In fact, had the federal minimum wage kept pace with workers’ productivity since 1968 the inflation-adjusted minimum wage would be $24 an hour”

    mf needs to reduce the 40 hour work week to a 30 hour work week

    Probably gonna happen and I’m not complaining, if businesses are so worried about if they can afford the wage increase just lessen the hours ratio work aholics gonna throw a fit though

    do you plan on working there for years to come? if not then nah

    the wage increase is going to hurt some people, especially those in rural environments. but i expect it to not be fully phased in until like 2025 at the earliest.

    the county i used to live in adjusts their minimum wage for how many employees are within the company, minimum wage is $15 but only if you employ like >200 people, so maybe something like that will happen.

    Oh no, it’s just a simple part time job while I’m in school and I’m in a high traffic/populated area of my state

    That makes a lot of sense I mean the company I work for is a franchise across the state and I think overall it employs less than 150 including corporate so yeah

    that stat is misleading because it takes the productivity gains across ALL careers (doctors, engineers, etc.) not just minimum wage employees

    most of these gains in productivity came from increases in technology rather than increased labor, and obviously we've come a long way since 1968 in that regard

    we gotta wait that long for the stimulus?

    Depends on how fast this gets passed in Congress

    There’s opposition to the amount of checks from some key Dems (they want actual 2k checks instead of something that when added makes 2k)
