    No, it doesn’t. Teachers with a degree should clearly be paid more.

      Yes of course but this person is saying don’t raise min wage. I think? If not the person is correct.

        It’s hard to portray subtlety over the web. I also think that the person opposes raising min wage, I just wanted to give them a different point of view.

    it's odd how people doing the math to write tweets about why wages should be lower tend to compute hourly rate * 40 * 52 weeks per year. Are they assuming zero days off per year, or assuming that minimum wage employees are actually salaried?

    Explain to me how one person is any more deserving of a living wage than another. Here’s a hint: it’s got absolutely nothing to do with ‘deserve’. It’s got everything to do with the fact that we’re all human beings and we should be taking care of each other, not exploiting each other.
