Minimum wage is for high school kids bagging groceries and uneducated people who cant get good jobs or make themselves good money through entrepeneurship.
How bout they lower minimum wage and encourage more education, even in technical degrees or skills.
I made $5.65 in high school bagging for heb and the minimum at the time was 5.15. ALL i used it for was for weed. If youre over 21 and still makin miminum then theres other problems going on like lack of education or a felony record. And even felons can start their own business.
The higher the minimum is, the less people feel the need to improve themselves.

Damn, I wish I hadn't already rated you. Nobody wants to hear pathetic stories, some of us adults have had real lives, and don't have any pity for you, or your rebel ways. Make better choices!

Also, rebelling does not mean saying fuck teachers and authority (unless its cops busting you for drugs). A true rebel knows the real enemies. Some of the biggest rebels were people trying to improve the lives of others. They just see an unjust system and rebel against it.
Im a felon but im not gonna let that hold me back from makin good money or limit my options.

yes they should in 1960 it took a week and a half of work to afford housing where are we at now in most of the country? 2 1/2 weeks? then there's all the jobs going oversea's since well forever but sooner or later we're going to be eating our own foot (figuratively) not that that has anything to do with successful business or reduced crime

^^what they said^^ -In 1970 a person could actually pay for their college education as they were going through it.

Or perhaps they ended up in situations where job stability was more valuable than trying to find a better one, or they like living in a town that they grew up in.
Nobody should make an unlivable wage, and that's why the cost of living is the problem. If someone can't support a family on an "average" wage there is an inherent problem in how we are managing our society.
Then again, perhaps our problem is capitalism.

I mean, a huge amount of jobs that pay over the minimum wage aren't any jobs that anyone else can't do. Wages that can't support a living shouldn't be legal, because if people are just barely making ends meet they can't, without risking what little they have, better their lot in life.
The fact shit is just too expensive is even more obvious if you realize how much a basic education costs. It's all ridiculous.

Well all those "eyesore" bums you're talking about are the lazy victim-mentality homeless people. They take on the idea that their life is fucked up and they live that way. If I was homeless on that island you would never fucking see me because I would straight up live in the bush. I've never understood why people push shopping carts around dirty ass cities and eat from dumpsters when they could simply learn to live in the wild.

Yea I know, like I said peeps over there are super racist. I met this kid from Boston who was camping out over there and his buddy was murdered by the locals, they ran his head over with a jeep.

Both of my parents grew up dirt poor and struggled to make ends meet. I bought weed because i was one who rebelled against the system. Ive been arrested multiple times, only have an associates, yet i dont use it for shit. I made my own business.
I also have tons of friends who grew up with nothing. My best friend in hs was so freakin poor and now he makes wayyyy more than me, like 70-80k a year selling door to door. He dropped out of high school, got his ged, took one class at a community college then dropped out of that too but he said fuck minimum wage and made something of himself anyways. We used to do soooo many drugs. He was a bigger rebel than I. I live in one of the areas in the US with the highest poverty rates so i see lazy fucks every day. I also see people who see that they can better themselves, and do it. I even see spanish only speaking people with no education selling food out their cars and make a few hundred a day.
The harder your life was growing up is even MORE reason to make somethting of yourself. Im sure you could make 100k a year yourself if you really wanted to. Just discover your skills and use them to your advantage.

The problem is the cost of living, not the wages we earn (not that the two are not inherently linked, but the metric with which we should measure our costs should be the minimum wage).

lik 35% of older people get jobs in min wage
the only way to get a job is to pay for tons of schooling that put you in debt for the next 10 years
I think people should work 37hours and get paid for the full 40hours, lunch isn't supposed to be prison

Minimum wage jobs can lead to higher wages if you apply yourself, and prove that you are a quality employee. Offering every person in McDonald's, for example, a $15 an hour wage isn't going to raise the quality of the product, just the cost.
