[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d rather we stopped this “living wage” talk and focus on making essentials like health care and housing more affordable/accessible.

If the 15 does not result in reduced employment, it will result in inflation of things like daycare, food, and housing. Then the 15 will not have as much buying power as it does now. And where does that place people who are already making 15 an hour? Are their wages going to go up too?

If it does result in reduced employment, then that is going to be a larger societal problem. Work is important to human dignity and a sense of purpose.

I also have kids. One will be old enough for a PT job in a year or two. Its already hard enough for young people to get their foot in the door and this will make it harder. [/quote]

Raising minimum wage will not cause inflation. That’s a myth that keeps being repeated by idiots like you.[/quote]

Calling someone an "idiot" when they did nothing to provoke you, except have a opinion different than yours makes you the bigger idiot and an asshole too.[/quote]

+1.  Handful of posters here who immediately resort to name calling when they cannot debate the topic at hand. “Idiot”, “moron” throughout this forum. Just scroll on by. There are some reasonably intellectual folks here who can exchange a meaningful dialogue.  Unfortunately you have to weed through to find them. [/quote]
