    The government is now offering $600, the equivalent of $15 an hour, or double the federal minimum wage, to people who've lost their jobs because of the coronavirus. A Kentucky cafe owner says she's had to close because her workers make more staying home.https://trib.al/cK3wN4X

        She doesn't have a viable business. It should close.

        Min Wage should be tied to cost of living, so it automatically rises as living expenses rise. Anything less is evil by definition.

        And charge double for her product too? Would you go buy $15 coffee to support higher pay rates for someone else? I tend to believe she would simply be out of business for a different reasons if she did that.

        Proof that the minimum wage is NOT a living wage.
