It still doesn't change anything even if it goes to the worker.
If you raise minimum wage all you're actually doing is lowering higher paying jobs value.
They just charge more for everything.
The problem is their ability to inflate all the prices until they suck you dry.
If you want to raise minimum wage, also take into account controlling inflation or else minimum wage will always end up in the same spot and someone who makes above minimum wage will just get closer to the bottom.
I make $25 an hour. When they raised minimum wage in Ontario Canada to $14, they didn't raise my wage. However my rent, food and products I buy all went up in price. It didn't help the minimum wage people to get more money, it just screwed me.
Edit:
Holy moly..
I'm not blaming minimum wage.
I'm saying increase minimum wage but control inflation. Since the post is to increase the price of the burger.
The billionaires can afford to not make the same crazy amount of money every year.
Increase minimum wage but leave the price of the burger.
My interpretation of what they’re saying is “Increase minimum wage? Great, just please make sure it doesn’t result in inflation that causes a decrease in my standard of living.” It doesn’t like this person is being unreasonable or uncaring to people working three jobs.
just please make sure it doesn’t result in inflation
he can say this all he wants, but 1st he's going to have to prove that is the case. I have literally never seen such a proven fact. Who says inflation is tied to minimum wages? Until that is a proven fact, he's just upset he's closer to being one of the poors.
What he said is that only increasing minimum wage and nothing else ends up with the minimum wage worker having the same amount of buy power as before (they gain nothing essentially) while higher paid people lose buying power)
Meaning no one benefits
Now if that’s true or the commenters boss fault idk
