And all other living expenses/commodities will also increase. Yall can make $50 minimum wage but businesses will just increase their prices accordingly (and at times at a unfavorable ratio)

Yes! Agreed, totally. Our position out here with the Jones Act, military, and just so many other factors contribute to this. But that's not to say a min wage increase isn't necessary. It'll hurt, but it's very necessary. We can't be expecting people to exist on these low wages.
Nobody is expecting a living wage, but everything is only going to be increasing in cost. Everything has been increasing in cost. To expect the wages to stay stagnant while housing/transport increases is not how you take care of your people. Businesses can't always be priority.
You’re right. Wages shouldn’t stay stagnant. However, the answer isn’t min wage increase as that tends to increase prices everywhere because increased inflation tends to follow. I should’ve said better paying jobs instead of high-quality. The issue with GovGuam still stands.
