Changing the fixed dollar amount of minimum wage is only a temporary fix that guarantees another uphill struggle in the future

Minimum should be tied to cost of living changes not a specific dollar amount that has to be fought over way after minimum wage no longer meets the minimum cost of living

$30 isn't jack shit in NYC.

Yeah even on the shithole east side of Cincinnati nobody pays less than $12 and you can't live on that here. $30 isn't at all radical for NY.

I live cheap in a redneck chunk of Florida. $15 is the minimum wage and two people can't squeak by with that in just about any dwelling or situation.

And I'll tell you what a native New Yorker friend told me when we visited Manhattan in 1991.

"How does anyone live on minimum wage here?!"

Laughing, "Man! Nobody gets paid minimum wage!"

Anyway, $30 sounds like rock-bottom. Not criticizing the guy, just saying $30 is the least they should aim for.

When you're so out of touch that you're trying to make the guy look bad whilst in reality accidentally praising him
