All jobs deserve a fair wage, it does not matter if it's a 17 year old, 40 year old or 70 year old. Burger flipping is not just flipping when you likely have to deal with disgruntled customers, bus tables, clean bathrooms, take orders, complete food prep, balance the cash register at the end, ensure cutlery is clean, etc.
Not everyone should go to college, the reason why college degrees and now grad degrees have cheapened in value is because this country pushed everyone to go to college instead of making a pain for fair wages. People with college/grad degrees, stop refusing to see and acknowledge that you are impacted most when the poor don't get fair wages for employment and everyone is pushed into college, this directly affects your class position as well. |
All jobs deserve a fair wage... for that kind of a job. |
What exactly is that supposed to mean? Are you suggesting that some jobs should pay more than others? Because that is basically the very root of income disparity itself. All work is honorable. All workers are equal. But if some workers are still earning more than others, we will never achieve true equality. It’s very discouraging that people still do not get this. |
Easy, Comrade! You are becoming a parody of yourself. |

Americans should be able to raise a family on burger flipping if that is what they choose to do, that is what fair wages mean. Not too long ago, this was happening. |
|
are you INSANE??? many college grads don't make that much! that is what a lot of teachers make! |
| Min wage was not designed to be a full time job. It was not supposed to be a living wage. |
YES, SOME JOBS SHOULD PAY MORE THAN OTHERS!!! what is your job? would you do it for minimum wage? i doubt you would. you want all workers equal? i think there are places that have a system like that! |

Fight for 15 was 15 years ago. OP doesn't understand inflation. When he was a boy, a soda cost a nickel! It's outrageous now!

Most of those places failed. And some animals were always more equal than others. |
That's why it needs to go up. It's being abused. |
They can, its all about lifestyle choices. |
If you can't afford soda, drink water. I certainly won't be paying for you to drink champagne you haven't earned when I can barely get a drop of soda myself for all my hard work. |
