SOME companies need to be force to pay at least 15$ hour minimum wage ... not EVERY company of course... I work in the construction business... some of these assholes paying 10$ a hour to people doing important shite.. that you might not deem important... but I’ve seen million dollar homes and commercial businesses built like shite because the employer won’t invest in good employees..,

What is stopping those $10 per hr employees from finding the same job with another company for $15 or more? If they are worth more, shouldn't they just be able to get paid more somewhere else?


They cant because they are only worth $10 per hr. This is why minimum wage is stupid and harmful. People are paid what they are worth.

Well, whatever they are doing must be good enough because if it was so bad, word would get out from homeowners who used those companies, people would stop using those companies and they would go out of business. Also, most likely there is someone being paid at least $15 an hour to supervise those jobs, but apparently the magic $15+ has not solved the problem if true.

I'm sure there are places that try to hire illegals for cheap labor to do stuff like that, but as a buyer, if you use a company which has no reputation (or a bad one) for something so important, then you can only really blame yourself.

How about this: We just appoint you God-in-Chief and you can tell everyone how to run their affairs, down to what they can buy to eat for breakfast?

And the market can rectify shoddy construction, lol.

No need to raise minimum wage to fix that. The same incompetent people will still be doing the jobs, and the house will cost more.
