so the guy that makes $15 an hour today is effectively told “frick you, youre now min wage”?

seems fair.


Fairness arguments are pretty infantile.

The guy making $15 / hour already is probably mostly worried about someone smashing his window and stealing his TV while he's at work. I don't think he's too hung up on this petty totem pole of poor people you're positing. If $15 / hour turns a few ne'er-do-wells into honest burger-flippers, he'll take it.

How much opposition to a minimum wage increase do you really see from people making $15 / hour? Think about it.

People who make $15/hour usually have no understanding of economics, like you.

Doubling the national min wage will lead to more automation and more unemployment.

Lol no. Employees currently making 15 or above are going to expect a raise when this goes into effect. In what fantasy world do criminals currently stealing shite or committing robberies suddenly go get a fn job flipping burgers as you put it.

In our pharmacy, we will have to let at least one person go bc our techs make 17 now and if everyone at low skill jobs are making 15, their pay has to go up for the amount of work they currently do. When burger flippers are getting 15, my salary as a pharmacist sure as shite will have to increase. The owner of the pharmacy will have to make a tough decision on who to let go. Now extrapolate that out to every business and you see the problem or you can continue to look in your naive fantasy world
