        @RGC_BPPA EVEN IF it includes only lower skilled worker, why would ANYONE assume they shouldn't be able to survive for their work.

        @emptywheel To me, it's not even about survival...it's about fair conpensation for the work they do to keep the business running.

        @RGC_BPPA I focus on survival bc it implies assumptions about expendability of other people that is really vile.

        @emptywheel Back in the very old days minimum wage was intended for wives "supplementing the family income" and teenagers living at home.

        @emptywheel Sure don't seem so "low" when they raise your profits,do they?? (That's for those "low skills deserve lower wages" rubes.)
