Yeah good Luck on that one. Cause companies will. Close faster than saying Good morning.
The federal minimum wage hasn’t moved from $7.25 an hour since July of 2009 and yet, the cost of living has gone up since then. I applaud the activists that fought to make a $15 minimum wage possible in New Jersey and Illinois.https://www.vox.com/2019/2/15/18226222/illinois-new-jersey-15-minimum-wage …

Perhaps companies that can’t pay a living wage shouldn’t be in business

Kamala will pull an Obama on us, promising smoothly what she has no intention of delivering. The unrecovered Obamabots and Hilbots will help her tremendously since they are still delusional about those former Trojan horses. Smh sadly and in frustration for zillionth time.

The minimum wage increased every year until 1979 when it froze at $3.32/hour. When Clinton advocated for raising it in the mid-90s, everyone freaked. Had we increased it incrementally, we wouldn’t be here now.

In 2025, 15 dollars in Illinois will be like maybe making 7.25 in 2009.

These minimums should all be, and should have all been, indexed to CPI, cost of living, or productivity.
