OT** Why $7.50 is enough

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b1807595.html


"Republican Senator John Thune has rejected an effort from
congressional
Democrats to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $15,
pointing to his $6 or less hourly wages that he earned working at a
restaurant as a “kid”."


Thune graduated from Jones County High School in Murdo, South
Dakota in
1979, when a $6 hourly wage – adjusted to modern inflation rates –
would
amount to roughly $23 in 2021 dollars.

But he thinks, or he wants you to think, that if he got by on $6 or
less, people 41 years later should get by on 7.50.

If you don't want minimum wage, don't have minimum skills.

While that seems to make a lot of sense at first glance, some people
are morn with minimal capacity.* They do not have the ability to improve.

That last is bull**** even with the retarded.

So, tell us about your experience working with retarded and low
intelligence people. Surely you have evidence to back up your statement.



Maybe $5 is enough for them?

I've hired people like that and though limited did a fine job and were
reliable.* No need to starve them.

No one starves in the first and second
world except the bulimics and anorexics.

And the poor that go to bed hungry and the homeless.



If you cannot pay $10 today you don't deserve to be in business.

That’s bull**** too.

What is a fair pay?
Anything over a dollar an hour is overpaying for the likes of Rod
Speed.
