Rich Businessman Believes a $28 Minimum Wage Could Kickstart The Economy
I don't know how to feel about this. Shall we spark a conversation about the pros and cons of such a high living wage?

3 回复What exactly do they do at McDonald's, that I don't do at home? I sweep, mop, restock napkins, take out the trash, wash dishes, and cook for other people. Can I start making $28 an hour? My hours are also longer than someone at McDonald's.

Just my 2 cents. Any 'big' business projecting entry level task based jobs to have higher pay...would probably not be keeping everyone around on payroll. Talking about automated process or robots. That 1 human cashier/front desk can then be easily paid lot more. Ironically it'll turn the low 'skill' job into a higher tier of skill. Personally I don't mind paying bit more for stuff I buy if that will keep someone from being hungry somewhere. But I'm a single dude and am neither a business owner nor an economist so wouldn't even begin to guess implications of minimum wage hike..or have a strong opinion about it.

8 回复No. You don't deserve $28.00 an hour to make burgers, mow lawns, or sweep floors. I'm an emt and I make half that.

9 回复Representatives of these large conglomerates often support higher minimum wages. The CEO of Costco is one example. It's not out of goodwill or charity. It's because their large business will weather the storm. Their small-time competitors will not.

2 回复Working forty hours a week at minimum wage should allow you to provide for at least the basic needs of 1.5 people.

11 回复The second anyone even mentions minimum wage and suddenly all the 14 year Olds are economics majors.

You can say goodbye to any small business if that happened. Large corporations would be the only ones able to survive. [spoiler]also, that number is ridiculous I made 18.75/hr last summer and I was interning for an insurance company [/spoiler]

3 回复Then we'll have an entire generation of McDonald's workers because what's the point of becoming a doctor if I can make the same just flipping burgers? Then we'll have to hire more H1B's just to make sure people are taken care of.
