US Politics on Sidechat | We’re WAY past the need of a $15 minimum wage. Inflation and wage stagnation has hit us so hard I argue a $35-$40 minimum wage is the new liveable wage in this country. Universal healthcare would also offset our exorbitant healthcare costs.

I’m begging you to take an economics course. This would hurt the people you’re intending to help.

The idea of a federal minimum wage is absolutely stupid. Requiring businesses in Arkansas and Mississippi to pay unskilled labor $40/hr is akin to requiring restaurants to keep their Ribeye Steaks under $5 per plate.

In economic terms “unskilled labor” doesn’t refer to jobs that require literally zero skill, but rather positions that are easily substitutable. Work that almost everyone can learn how to perform at a proficient level in a few weeks.
