You can tell the people that never had a business or 30 employees that think it's ok for the Government to tell them what to pay there employees. More than half the people in the US gain from Government largess, no wonder it's popular. You don't like your wage get a different job. It's much easier to kick and scream and demand that their employer give them what they don't deserve.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Why set the minimum so low? You can't live on $15 bucks an hour! If $15 is good $30 is better right? Lets just do that. Dang I can live on $15 a hour easily.

I started on the RR at $1.10/hr.(Thats about $6/hr today).A case of 34 molson export ale was $5,a loaf of bread was a quarter and a new elan skidoo was $500. My first summer job was $5 dollars a day.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

$15/hour is about 30 grand annually. That would be tough to live off of nowadays for many families.

Is $15/hr min. wage reality? Pretty much around here it is. If an employer isn't offering close to that they have a sign outside looking for employees. Not saying there aren't employers looking to increase profit for low wages; but the workforce has changed since Covid shutdowns. If you want to work there are plenty of jobs offering pay of $15+ / hr. Now if you can live on $15/hr is a separate question!

It takes two incomes to live now a days. Sixty grand is enough to raise a family on. Minimum wage is usually for non experienced young kids in their first jobs and is not for a family usually. LLL
