I always wondered why the Dems don't just go for the gold and raise the minimum wage to like $35 an hour. That way, everyone who works is guaranteed at least a middle class lifestyle. Seems like a no-brainer to me. It's almost as if they don't want to make a sudden massive increase because they know everyone will then be able to much more clearly see how minimum wage laws don't do shit to help anyone's financial situation. It's always small increases here and there, incremental increases over time, etc to keep the illusion going. Come on, pussies...raise that shit to $200 an hour so that EVERYONE can see and feel the effects of what minimum wage laws actually do.

Seriously, you guys saying the higher minimum wage like that are just being dumb. Best like when you lower taxes, there's diminishing returns. When you ride minimum wage, there's diminishing returns.

How about this, right now the liberal states are successful, so raise their minimum wage to $15, a lot of the cities are there anyway. Then the conservative states which are struggling, we can raise their minimum wage to say $10. Compromise, amazing what it can do.

Tahlib has raised the ante to a 20 dollar minimum wage.

Why stop there?

Since wage laws don’t affect employment it should be $200/hour. Gas pumpers will be living in $800k houses and vacationing in Europe. Everyone is entitled to two weeks in Monaco. Why is it fair that only rich people get to go? Lowe’s toilet salesman work just as hard as Jeff Bezos. Maybe harder.

With 12 11.4 years to go, why the fuck not? Let's right out our time on this desiccated cinder with an epic bender, bitches.

Climate change: 12 years to save the planet? Make that 18 months

Time to bust out the cocaine and strippers for even the slow strategy folk like @YellowSnow.
