A national coalition of more than 100 organizations, including teachers unions and lawmakers, is pushing for a federal $25 minimum wage bill.
Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., and Rep. Analilia Mejia, D-N.J., on Tuesday introduced the Living Wage for All Act — a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $25-per-hour and eliminate subminimum wages.
Mejia, a founding member of the Living Wage for All coalition, is pushing the bill as her first legislative action since winning a special election for a New Jersey House seat in a landslide last week, defeating Republican candidate Joe Hathaway.

Why not make it $100

Why $25/hour? Why not $1250/hr? We would knock out poverty…

And morons will wonder why automation becomes more of a thing and there are fewer jobs available or hours are cut and more duties are pushed onto fewer employees.

Where do high school kids get entry level part time jobs at 25 an hour?

And New York and Vermont are different states than Georgia and Louisiana.
We dont need the same minimum wage.
Tell Bernie and AOC to raise the minimum wages in NY and VT, and we will worry about our own state economy.

If any Republicans support this, they better damned well be able to explain why they can't get the voting bill action that is supported by the vast majority of the US.
If they do without getting this SAVE act in place, it will be the death of the Republican Party.

$25/hr is just stupid....even worse at the federal level as LA/NYC/Chicago nowhere the same as BR/Birmingham/Little Rock as far as standard of living

I member when it was $15/hr minimum wage. I member when California passed this. I member when automation replaced minimum wage workers. I member when small business left California because paying $15/min wage was crushing businesses.
I'm sure $25/hr will work out better.

Automation in my business is becoming more and more of a reality everyday! Ten years ago I never would have even thought it was possible!

Iowa certainly doesn't need 25 an hour.
Heck summer high school help on the farm with experience getting 20 an hour and fed.
Some 16 year old that's never had a job starting at HyVee gets 25.

Won’t belong before AI makes minimum wage a thing of the past. There may be starter jobs obviously but fewer jobs and more people looking for them

Then they'll cry about how only WalMart, Lowes, Home Depot, and Costco are left to shop.
Then they'll feel the wrath of every single American who currently makes more than $25/hr (which is probably most people who work). Every single one of them will lose big time, and it'll take YEARS for THEIR wages to catch up to the astronomical rise in prices.

I don't fully agree with this. AI will simply shift the required skills in order to make a living.
There was a time when electricity was becoming a thing, and people cried about the candle makers and many others losing their jobs. It's easy to say, " but this is different". But is it really? Back then, do you not think electricity was just as big a deal and just as much of a huge step forward to them as AI is to us today?

Every small business would go Out of business. These people are clowns.

So, am I going to have to secure a loan in order to purchase a couple of Quarter Pounders w/Cheese?

It would kill the fast food industry, which would in turn severely hurt the medical industrial complex, so that alone would keep it from passing without bloodshed.

I would love to see the average IQ of Republicans vs. Democrats in the House and Senate.

Electricity put the candle makers out of work…who else?
Electricity created more work. Round the clock work. Power tools followed soon after increasing work.
AI isn’t the same type of development. Electricity didn’t replace humans, it employed more humans.
AI is a replacement for humans. Electricity didn’t “think”.
AI does, then generates work that it can do for itself.
ETA-
Hell, electricity gave us AI…full circle. Nevermind. Electricity will eliminate jobs.
