Minimum Wage was never meant to provide adequate living conditions, it is a bare MINIMUM, a starting point for you to work hard, get promoted, get pay raises, etc. Teenagers working at McDonald’s, that’s what it’s meant for.
If you are an able-minded adult complaining about minimum wage, you are a Tard.
Quoting: Vapor Trails Wages and salaries have been suppressed and dropping. There are companies out there that want educated technicians to work for minimum wage right now. I can look at Indeed and see all the companies that want engineers to work at 50k or less salary. This isn't just entry level work anymore, it's a joke. Exactly. There's just not enough decent paying jobs to support the majority of the population anymore. In the 80s/90s it was pushed hard for people to get a college degree to have a better life. Well... people listened and now people with degrees is oversaturated while manufacturing jobs that families could live off of siphoned off over those years overseas. Now people parrot to go to a trade school and learn a trade. I know quite a few families that had their kids do this in the past 8 or so years. They're struggling now too due to the oversaturation that's happening. Customers that pay for plumbers, electricians, etc. are on fixed incomes or make drastically lower wages. The majority of people can't afford to pay for the skill wages of plumbers, electricians, etc. Politicians shouldn't be able to make a career of it. They lose touch and as long as they're getting theirs then they could care less. They sold the country out long ago and still do (see the gov. approval of Smithfield foods to the Chinese as a semi-recent example).
