[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You have too many negatives in one statement. Wish I could figure out what you are trying to say. I would love to discuss it all.[/b]
I have worked minimum wage jobs most of my life and even below minimum because of long hours and nobody forced the minimum wage or it didn't exist back then. At some point, my health simply gave up because of the long hours without a break.
I wish it was minimum wage always (I have made $20 for 10 hour shift many times) and then I simply live with friends, roommates, relative to claw out of it or get a better paying job or two.  ( I have had 3 at once, but still minimum).
Several of us ended up in ER from work - that's how brutal it was even for 20-something people. One co-worker collapsed on the street and got a cab to ER. That day put her in negative $400 which was one weeks pay.
There are jobs that don't even pay minimum. I have $0 in my social security statement for two years I worked. The business owes me and IRS tens of thousands.
I have had two jobs that cost me more to go to work than to stay home. Neither paid minimum.
I would tell you how to climb out of DC minimum wage job, but it's much harder to climb out of below minimum that I was put through.

Ironically, given the topic she seems passionate about, she seems incapable of cobbling together something coherent.
