Humbly, going minimum wage rates west of I-5 in CA are already > $25. Minimum $15 is a moot issue. But please go ahead the lower the floor, please, please.

Imagine how much better our nation would be if the minimum wage were $2,300.

I want workers to earn more, but I also worry about small businesses that are struggling badly. They'd have to cut hours, let employees go, transition faster to automation in some cases. Raising wages faster than many businesses can sustain could cause many job losses

We don't even have the $15 we've been calling for since the primaries yet, and disingenuous "leftists" are already trying to burn this bridge. F*cking Krist. This immediate goalpost moving shit is what makes leftism unpalatable to centrists/libs.

An increase in min wage is necessary to soften the blow from additional employee taxes to cover things like mandatory health insurance so ppl will see smaller net income along with a higher cost of living, fewer hours, and fewer employees. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Hey Marianne! Last attempt :) If you’d like to RT / co-sign this and inspire a bunch of new candidates. @johncusack and @JordanChariton just RTed it!

My 17 year old wouldn't work for $7.25, and he has NO bills. He negotiated $9.25 - and that's still not enough. He has work experience, superb attendance, and more common sense than some adults. IMAGINE if he had to live off this...

Should be $50 or $100 an hour. Need to afford eggs and a ham loaf. Then everybody will be given a job.

Not much different to be honest, the workers would still be exploited by the bosses who steal 60-95% of the value our labor produces.
