Aww are the widdle capitalists upset the workers are realising how much value is being stolen from them?
Maybe corporations should pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
Pay what people feel they are worth, or go out of business.
Isnt that what everyone here wants, the power of the free market to weed out inefficient businesses?
Its literally a 70 cent rise. Thats barely inflation matching.
Cry more, capitalists.
@breadsmasher @Amoxtli Aww are the widdle socialists mad that the policies they advocated for got them fired?

Yet for some reason they're hitting the "I'll do it again" button 😂
If these are the people voting in #California, it explains the state that it's in.
You’re advocating poverty wages, and “shut up you get what you’re given”?
Increasing minimum wages reduces the value of everyone else's money. Companies never take a hit from these increases. They always pass on the cost into the product or they shut down locations.
Every time government increases the minimum wage, the poverty line goes up as well. It's turns into a never ending inflationary cycle.
You can't just increase the minimum payment, because at the end of the day, the money has to equal some type of value. When the government forces a value, it reduces the value of everyone else's money.
@djsumdog @breadsmasher @realcaseyrollins Agreeed!
The other major factor on inflation, WAR SPENDING!
Inflation is Government created.
