Ahh yes, if we could only get a living wage for Americans ($15/hr) we could lift millions out of poverty. Guess what my fellow Americans? EO Joe is going to smash that paltry $15/hr and easily hit $20/hr by years end but not one person will be lifted from poverty. No! In all likelihood if the insane monetary policies and wet stimulus dreams of this current kooky administration continues the country will see more people in poverty because funny money inflation is going to raise the poverty level for a family of 4 from approximately $26k/year to $35-40k/ year household income.

There are reports of small businesses and fast food restaurants already paying upwards of $20/hr, $1500 sign on bonus, $50 just to interview...while people sit on their asses drawing anywhere from $500/week up to $900/week. You think those people are going back to that $12/hr job until that government titty money runs dry? Hell the frick no! Why would ya?

Look at the bright side, at least brain dead Americans will get a real world education in Econ 101. Yes there will be a pop quiz after the collapse so brush up on what the word fungible means, elastic and inelastic, basic supply and demand charts, ya know, guns vs butter stuff.

When inflation really gets rolling in a few months, $15 ain't going to be shite.

Nope! And a lot of union dupes who recently signed 3-4 year contracts without a COLA provision are gonna be pissed! Not to mention the union retirees who generally have very little inflation protection in their monthly annuity payments.

Im just saying I don’t give a shite if some shitty fast food restaurants go out of business. Although most of them haven’t.
