  • Honestly you don’t or you’d understand it’s too low. The entire point of a minimum wage is it’s supposed to be the minimum amount a person needs to make to survive as businesses will do everything they can do pay as low as they can. It’s the floor and shouldn’t be a poverty wage which it continues to be as people like you say we can’t possibly do anything to help people.

    That drives people to corporate chains, shuttering local businesses whose employees end up working for minimum wage for the corporations. That’s how you end up with an entire state on welfare and SNAP benefits

    Notice how that’s already the case in most of small town America, to the point large corporations train staff during orientation on how to get it.

    This is why go higher and force them to actually pay.

    Then again you only want the bare minimum so what’s the point of trying to convince you of anything
