If only Democrats had the stones to do this.

        Then we make two wages, one we call minimum, the other we call living. That way it’s easy to know if a place is offering a living wage or if it’s just unimportant work.

          The only problem with that is there’s so much work people consider unimportant that is absolutely vital, just not what people want to do.

          Like fast food workers during school hours

          That way we can tell the difference between the morlocks and the eloi.

          lol right now we do have two wages. The minimum wage… and the subminimum wage. Yes, that is a real thing! 2.13$ an hour if you make more than 30$ in tips a month.
