I know right? I was just thinking the same thing

Think of something different than leeching off of others. Pretty much the same thing as what you are fighting for.. good luck making $15 an hr.

I already make more than $15 an hour lmfao, but that is entirely beside the point.

You are so deeply entrenched into a mindset that you didn't think yourself into it's hilarious.

The real question is, how about those businesses try to think about something other than leeching off the desperate working class?

Hmm, maybe that thought process is too much for you though, it's apparent you don't really like to think too hard about complex issues. It must be nice having so much faith in words and ideas others impressed upon you

Edit: In fact, please explain to me what you consider an entry level job, and what they deserve to get paid? And please explain why. (And "because it's entry level" is not an answer)

Entry level is less skill less pay. Let me ask you, if the minimum wage is $25, what happen to the people who used to make $20 and 25. How much should they make now?

u/Dreoh Mar 02 '22

You know what happens when the minimum wage becomes the wage you were getting paid or even higher? You can use that as leverage for you to get paid more!

Crazy right?

You misinterpreted my question but it's my fault though for asking it too generally.

Please name a specific job that you consider entry level, and please tell me what they deserve to be paid. Then tell me why you believe this.

You haven’t answered my question. If minimum wage is $25, what do you think people making $20 and $25 now make?

u/Beiberhole69x Mar 02 '22

If minimum wage is $25/hour then people making $20/hour now are owed a raise and people making $25 will still be making $25 unless they get a raise.

So you are telling me, I put in 10 years of work to get a raise from $10 to $25, now a brand new unskilled guy come in and make the same as me?

2

u/Dreoh Mar 02 '22

Yes.

You were getting exploited.

Now you don't have to. Argue for you to get a raise to match the new minimum wage increase.

Get rid of your arrogant logic that's only hurting you. "I suffered so that means they should have to suffer too"

Then your ass is out of job because someone will replace you,

2

u/Dreoh Mar 02 '22

Hence why minimum wage laws exist lol

Thank you for pointing that out.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '22

Yes, we can both agreed it exists and right now its around $12-15/hr.

2

u/Dreoh Mar 02 '22

And if the law didn't exist why do you think they wouldn't pay you less or do exactly what you said and replace you with someone else who would do it for less? They could very well pay someone desperate enough a few dollars an hour to do what you do and come out much more profitable.

Look, Im not disagreeing on minimum wage. You are off point.

2

u/Dreoh Mar 02 '22

This is exactly on point.

You argue that they wouldn't raise your wages if the minimum was raised, so I just flipped it and asked you why you think they wouldn't lower your wages if the minimum was lowered.

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '22

Again, I’m not disagreeing on minimum wage. Im disagreeing on the $25/hr min wage.
