Re: Is $20/hr the NEW (unofficial) Minimum Wage?
Yesterday hubs and I were on our way home from hiking and when we passed a McDonald's their sign said they were paying $15.50 an hour to start. Still they cannot get employees.

The reason they cannot get employees there (or most other places in the Metro) is that they are demanding employees be vaxxed. If it weren't for that people would be lined up to apply. Heck, even I would go flip burgers for that amount- but I wont take poison to do it.

Only 54% of our state is vaccinated, only 59% in the Metro. The highest percentage of unvaxxed are black people. Guess who has always had the highest numbers working formerly minimum wage jobs?

Drop vaxxine requirements and see how fast the job openings fill up.

You are paid what you are worth, and a minimum wage job isn't worth $20/hr...

What I want to know is, why is it anyone else's place to decide what a person is "worth"?....their WORTH? Seriously?


There is more to life than making money, and our value greatly exceeds whether or not we can earn a LIVING wage....especially per someone else's ideologies.

No, your value to society is the wage you earn...The only way to make money is by helping other people, the very least you can do is selfishly work the minimum and complain about not getting paid more...Again, the only way to make money is by helping someone else...

Learn something valuable that will help more people or help them more than asking if they want fries with that...

I know how the system works, Brief. I am educated, in multiple ways.

My post was bred out of my disgust for the system, and I put you in my line of fire. I apologize for that.

But I can't embrace the money system we have here, and you have fully embraced it.

Heh, it's kinda a conflict of interests....that's all.

Have a great weekend!....hf

I've worked a full time job 20 years after graduating college back in 2002. I now make $26.50/hr.

If $20/hr is the "new min wage", well then WTF is the point? I have been busting my ass since I got this job. Started at $11/hr. FUCK THIS! I will find every way possible to cheat the system and NOT WORK.
