And you thought it would stop at $15

California Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., asked his Twitter followers this week to consider the benefits of raising the minimum wage above $20 per hour.
In a since-deleted post captured by ProPublica, Khanna noted that raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour is expected to lift 1 million people out of poverty – while envisioning what an even steeper increase would do.
“Raising the minimum wage to $15 would lift 1 million people out of poverty. Imagine how many more lives would be impacted if we matched the rate of productivity and made it $23/hr,” the post read.

How idiots think this won’t just raise prices across the supply chain is unfathomable. Do these people not understand how this works?
It’s like moving to San Francisco with a Lake Charles salary and going...I’m good at 75K. I can eat. Minimum wage is not a one fits all solution.

That's steep even for extremely wealthy areas like Burlingame, San Mateo, or San Francisco.

I can't imagine minimum wage at 23 an hour in Louisiana, good lord what a terrible idea.

It's pretty racist that they expect people to work for their $23/hour. They're all just a bunch of uncle toms until they start to acknowledge their blatant racism

Hell yea, all the baws can drag up on their construction jobs and become greeters at Walmart. 
You've never been greeted properly until you've been greeted by a welder on meth with a dip in his mouth.

Do any of these clowns think past the number and how businesses will just raise prices; i.e. inflation?
Or I guess they will just draft another law requiring price controls?

is this only in California because 1 million seems like a lot of people in California to be working on minimum wage. 2.5% of their population total works for minimum wage seems really high. I can't even think of places where I live in Alabama that pay minimum wage.

It's like they intentionally try not to understand how this shite works.

This will be a nail in the coffin for a lot of golf courses in CA.

Will only push big corporations quicker to automation. Looking forward to ordering a Big Mac from R2D2.
