#mainly just griping because my dickhead boss gave shitty reasons for being against minimum wage hikes

[peiorestbonitasmea]

I hate the idea that just because someone doesn't have kids or mortgages or whatever that they don't deserve better pay. Even more so I hate the idea of disabled people not deserving better pay because someone is taking care of them. A huge fuck you to those who say these things. The only valid reason I see thus far for being against a hike in minimum wage is inflation because there is no cap (to my knowledge) on how much prices can be raised in response. People, in my opinion, deserve a baseline of a living wage and better pay than that should be merit based. Yes even a teenager. My spouse brought up a good point that giving teens better pay can be helpful for avoiding student loans and better for the economy in the long run.
