It’s kinda crazy how like these things that should benefit employees like minimum wage increases, end up resulting in them losing their jobs through no fault of their own.
Coming to a city near you: $50 minimum wages, in line with middle aged white collar workers. Can’t wait to get paid as much as a fresh grad and get my job outsourced to another continent at 20% of the rate.
The only people able to buy houses now where I am are making >200k, and we’re talking budget 2br homes, not some megamansion and not even anywhere near a desirable part of a major city. I’m in IT… wages have not increased, instead they have decreased over the past 10 years except at the lowest income segment.
Meanwhile the wealthy elite are so obsessed over their commercial properties going up in value year over year at an unsustainable rate that they mandate us to show up right in the heart of the city making the housing crisis even worse. They win though because they already own nearly all the land. Paying landlords from birth till death is the future. Can’t for when we pay 90% of our take home pay to our owners.

Sir… this is a Wendy’s.
Oh no! What ever will these minimum wage workers do? Surely not find another minimum wage job that pays $20/hr? No def not!
