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.
It's currently $16.50
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
How dare they!
We're winning
Full mast
I love this news! Good job you guys 👏
