Re: SCOTUS 14: Confirming a Rabid Partisan to Own the Libs
Originally posted by BassAle View PostMy company bumped up their minimum wage to $15 (custodial staff, entry level animal care, etc). Maybe 100-200 people out of 2000 employees. It was a year+ long process, but they eventually adjusted the pay of _everyone_, even those of us making six figures. It cost the company millions of dollars a year.
Edit: and kudos to your company for doing that!Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Originally posted by Brenthoven View PostYou misunderstand me. I work in a warehouse. Blue collar. An honest dollar is an honest dollar to me. Period. However, I run an entire building by myself. If I take a minor pay cut, and get the same benefits, and get a LOT less stress due to the job I'm doing, because of the min wage laws...it's worth considering. Employers are NOT going to adjust wages due to min wage (oh you've been here x years, and now min wage is y, so we'll now pay you z).
I will never look down on someone working an honest job, whatever that may be.
But yes, raising the minimum wage will not raise other wages, at least not automatically. What is does do is give us leverage against employers by creating more opportunities for working class people to work a job that lets them live. I mean, there’s a lot more that we can do but that involves things like unions and socialism.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Re: SCOTUS 14: Confirming a Rabid Partisan to Own the Libs
Just a note to remember:
If all Democratic protest voters had instead voted for the person who could win in both 2000 and 2016, the Supreme Court would currently have a 7-2 split with seven justices named by democratic presidents. The Voting Rights Act would still be in force."I went over the facts in my head, and admired how much uglier the situation had just become. Over the years I've learned that ignorance is more than just bliss. It's freaking orgasmic ecstasy".- Harry Dresden, Blood Rites
