| DevilRising said: No. It's not. It's necessary, because whether they raise min. wage or NOT, inflation still happens. Prices of shit STILL goes up, whether there's any actual reason/cause for them to go up or not (hint: there usually isn't). Our financial system is totally fucked, and complete and utter bullshit, but we're so ingrained with it, that it's going to be hard to move on to something else (see: smarter, more sustainable). So until THAT happens, yes, it is basically necessary to raise the min. wage every once in awhile. If you honestly don't think so, then you've probably never tried to support yourself (much less a family) on one or more min. wage jobs, even if you work your ass off and NEVER have any free time. Being the working poor is the drizzling shits, working your ass off with nothing to show for it. And those of us who are lucky enough NOT to be in that situation, should count ourselves thankful, and show compassion for those who do have to deal with such tough circumstances. |
Pretty much.
