That's how it is now lol

I wonder if the <:5643_pixel_nop:726876980439416884> voters currently work for minimum wage or not.

The min wage increased from $7.65 to $15 faster than most small businesses could handle. This is why your cup of coffe or bottle of pop shot up in price overnight. Nobody can run a business without profits.

Did Walmart and Target suffer much from the increase, or did their sheer size allow them to absorb extra costs? Just like with Obamacare, when they cut hours to insure you don't get Full-Time Benefits, major corporations can handle changes like that.

You think you're protecting yourself from corporate shenanigans, yet they survive mandates like this when the little guys are forced to close down. The end result is that they usually get swallowed up by the giants. We keep inching closer towards an Oligarchy.

Minimum wage here in California is $13

Gonna be bumped to $14 in 2021

Here in FL, it’s current $7 (ish) but it will be bumped to $10 in a year or two and then $15 in a couple more. It’s frustrating for some of the small business owners that I know, but more manageable than a straight jump to 15, so I’ll give that small amount of credit to the politicians.
However I still am strongly against raising it at all more than inflation requires. I think that the $7 (ish) minimum was reasonable. However, taking into account that it will be doubling soon, I vote to abolish it.

Yea...

minimum wage has its purpose but I feel like it has a role in the inflation problem and the financial damages that small businesses constantly have to deal with

I feel like minimum wage should stay stagnant and never change

unbacked dollar needs fixed more than anything

minimum wage is good

i think minimum wage should change depending on inflation

if, for example , the minimum wage was 5 dolars/hour in the 80s for example and back then 1 dollar had the buying power of 2 dolars today then minimum wage now should be 10dollars/hour

Abolish? no, but greatly lower in states like California? yes.

We need a minimum wage, because if more jobs started paying like waiters at restaurants did, that would be pretty bullshit. A low minimum wage, like 8 bucks, is reasonable to me. 15 bucks? no. I think people would be taken a lot more advantage of if there was no minimum wage... we arent even considering the income tax as well that takes a part of what you make.

a place like cali where the cost of living is so high is why it needs a higher min wage then other parts of the country

It's a feedbacks loop, cost of living is high because of the taxes but taxes are high because people make a lot of money.

minimum wage jobs arent meant to be living wages. people shouldnt be trying to live off of minimum wage jobs... thats a lot of why minimum wage is being raised to $15, because people think minimum wage needs to be a living wage.

and like David said. its kind of a form of inflation.

Can we pick several music genres?

Of course

Thanks.

Country is my favorite. Posted the poll so had to vote for them all including rap 🤮

Sad.

some rap is good, not a fan of most of it, but some is good

Some good, and bad, rap.

Once people have voted at least once for all the options, you can remove your reaction on the ones you don't care for.

And i shall

RIP pop, nobody likes it

When I was in middle school I did but not really anymore.

"RIP pop, nobody likes it." Good.

I listen to more alternative music I guess

Hozier, Kaleo, Hip-hop beats/lofi, electro-swing

If I like the song it goes in my playlist

I don't have a genre 😅

imagine not liking classical music

Metal and jazz are my favorite. ive also noticed that ive been listening to game soundtracks a lot more lately

Metal is def the best, but jazz is great for chilling with the lady. Electro-Swing, Classical and other instrumental music is perfect for getting work finished.

I'm not a fan of metal but I agree with everything else <:dogekek:726878872607653918>

One time I sat on my porch while it was raining with a cup of hot coffee and listened to jazz

I'd love to do it again
