    Doesn’t create an issue, creates an opportunity

    “Pay me more or I’ll go get a job at a fast food place” is a simple and easy argument for raises at any reasonable place

        It disincentives gaining skills that can only earn less than 40k a year.

        You’re looking at this backwards. It essentially would make a business compete with every other minimum wage job if all they’re offering is $20/h. They either raise wages to lure skilled workers, or try to provide some other benefits.

        Is that what teevee to you?

        Real issue that this is not a universal wage increase. I don’t get why it is only for “fast food” workers
