First thing comes to my mind....Why not $500.00??
In a debate Monday night, Rep. Barbara Lee defended her previous advocacy for a $50 minimum wage. “In the Bay Area, I believe it was the United Way that came out with a report that very recently $127,000 for a family of four is just barely enough to get by,” Lee said. “Another survey very recently: $104,000."
Also, here is a link about a 'person' with whom Marauder would like for me to associate, culture notwithstanding. Somebody like Zahlanzi or Kev or McHill once said we are all brothers, we are all equal, whatever. Does this mean I have to have this sister too??!?!

I only take in about 40 bucks an hour and have problems paying my bills even though my house payment is under 1K. Don't know what jobs would pay that much outside of STEM jobs which pay more than that everywhere.
Whatever she proposes has zero chance of passing so what is your problem? The fact she might have empathy? I guess for you empathy is a no no.
I agree, Joe, "Why not $500?"
These fools can't see that giving everyone a raise like that would cause immediate mega-inflation??
Cripes, we already have $18 Big Mac meals in California where the fast food minimum wage is $20 an hour.
Rents go up, food goes up, everything goes up! And you are left - relatively speaking, in a similar financial bind
as before, only guess what... you are now in a higher tax bracket!! You GO, dems!!
@sonhouse saidWhat is my problem? If she gets her way, Sonhouse, our world goes to hell. I thought you were a democracy kinda guy. You see, follow me here you clueless feller, that would mean that cost of hamburgers (libs call them ‘burgers&rsquo😉 would go up seven times more than they are now. Sonhouse? Who will follow your diatribes if they see you saying you like the idea?

Corps pass on their costs to the consumers. I will work with you learning this, I will not leave you hanging. Send me a PM, I can help you.
@earl-of-trumps saidDon’t blame the Dems. Sonhouse seems to be the only one who fell in a ditch with my post. Kev, Sue , McHill, etc know what I’m talkin’bout!
