Lazy, entitled millenials...
[quote]"When I was a kid, I had no help with college tuition. I was hard working and paid fit all myself!"
- Annual tuition for Yale, 1970: $2,550
- Annual tuition for Yale, 2014: $45,800
- Minimum wage, 1970: $1.45
- Minimum wage, 2014: $7.25
- Daily hours at minimum wage needed to pay for tuition, 1970: 4.8
- Daily hours at minimum wage needed to pay for tuition, 2014: 17.3[/quote]
But no, millenials are lazy and we don't need to raise minimum wage.
lol.

Edited by Dhoster: 12/23/2015 4:37:05 PMMy mother told me about this one little thing she had seen somewhere. Something about an older guy having a conversation with someone who just got out of college. It goes something like this: Older man - "When I was your age, I didn't have anything when I got out of college!" College grad - "What I wouldn't do to have nothing coming out of college..." (It shows a thought bubble by the younger person's head with college debt inside it) Can't remember if that's exactly how but you get the gist of it.

2 RepliesThere's more to raising minimum wage than just people having more money. Businesses will charge more because they have to pay workers more which leads to inflation. We have to be extremely cautious with raising minimum wage

2 RepliesI might not go to college because I will never have the money for it, and there scholarships but I wont be able to qualify for most of the big ones. Plus I dont want to spebd my entire life paying them off. Yay...im -blam!-ed.

The problem here is that you're placing an arbitrary problem with no solution, if any, to it.

41 RepliesThe right minimum wage is $0.00 because the government has no right limiting the free market.

6 RepliesWhy should a paramedic barely make 15 bucks an hour (and saving lives!) while a mcdonalds worker gets paid the same? Also, if minimum wage is raised, everything will cost more! If you want more money, go to college. Get a financial aid scholarship, like college bound if you live in WA and get a degree. Get a job. $50,000 or more a year.

Well what is our solution then?! Because we still can't live off minimum wage! Hello from my garage, just bought this new Lamborghini here, but do you know what I like more than this brand new Lamborghini? Knowledge. I read a new book everyday...

24 RepliesNo. We don't need 15 minimum wage. You're not supposed to live off minimum wage.

1 ReplyWhile I do agree that there needs to be no increase to minimum wage your post is still way off. College has only gotten more costly.

15 RepliesIn northern Virginia, if I had 2 kids and worked 2 minimum wage jobs, I would be living in poverty. We definitely need a minimum wage increase.

6 RepliesI don't think minimum wage was ever a living wage.

Remember Inflation

6 RepliesYou do realize raising minimum wage will just make everything more expensive, right?

14 RepliesSkip college. Learn a trade. Open your own business with said trade. There, I just solved a whole generation's problem.

7 RepliesBut won't owners not want to hire people after the minimum wage increase?

2 RepliesThe markets flooded with useless millennials and their useless degrees in basket weaving. Learn a trade you lazy turds.

6 RepliesObviously the solution is to abolish the minimum wage completely. We can always rely on businesses to take care of their employees, right? I mean, it's not like they'll overwork their employees and use them as borderline slave labor. While we're at it, let's abolish taxes for the rich. After all, their wealth trickles down because they all invest the money and they have such goodness in their hearts, and they most definitely do not hoard their money. Why not get rid of other regulations too like environmental and work hours and so on? Why do we even have those anyway? What Gilded Age?

anybody who tries to relate a group of people to a completely unrelated characteristic is an idiot. It is like saying you are aggressive because you were born this month or love dogs because your favorite color is blue. There is no evidence to tie the two together. Some of the hardest working people I know are Millennials. Some of the laziest bastards I know are Boomers. People try to add unconnected qualities to groups because it helps them get a better control over their world. It isn't that simple.

We're badly overdue to raise minimum wage given the naturally progressing inflation in our economy. Also we need to lower the age of retirement, and create spaces for new skilled workers to enter the workforce because with the Koch brother's current agenda we have a terrible injunction of workers in the workforce with no space opening up for the generation coming to age. Not to mention that social security is actually functioning well, and has been for a long time. When it comes to politics it really pays to do your own research and seek information not heavily colored by a political bias, as so much is today

6 RepliesIt doesn't do anything. As soon as it's raised everything will end up costing more so that that minimum wage can be that high.
