You people were just fighting for 15...there is no pleasing you
Thank you, @JoeBiden.
This is an important step in the right direction: Americans should be earning $15/hr.
But they are *entitled to* $23 an hour, which is what the minimum mage would be if it had increased with the rate of productivity since 1960.https://twitter.com/conorsen/status/1347621940534644737 …

I think he said “minimum” so maybe it will be higher?

Get ready for employers to simply hire one person instead of two, and work that one person twice as hard because they don’t want to pay $23 twice. $15 is a perfectly reasonable *minimum* wage. $23 would destroy brick and mortar retail and restaurants, especially small business.

And I say that as someone who starts people at $14, has people making up to $20, does yearly $1 raises, and does time and a half monthly if goals are hit. I could do $23, but a fuckton of other businesses would simply close or go online only if $23 became the minimum.

Why not make it $100/hr.? Or $200?

Exactly. Been saying it since research found in 1993 (the year before rent control was eliminated) that it took a HoH +$17/hr. to support a family of 4 living in Cambridge, MA.

I know min wage needs raised. My question is how is raising it kept from starting a cycle of prices raising and so on thus putting us right back to where we are now? Just seems like the start of a domino effect.
