That was the whole fucking point of minimum wage in the first place, but somewhere between Nixon and Reagan we collectively forgot what government was for and now half of America Is like ‘Spank me harder, daddy’ every four years and I don’t even know what’s going on anymore.
So many “conservatives” these days seem to really only have the political position of “I’ll be fucked if I’ll stand for the possibility of anyone, anywhere having their situation improved unless my own situation is improved even more in the process. I would rather burn this fucker to the ground, with me in it, than see someone else get any kind of aid or relief that I’m not getting, even if I don’t need it or want it anyway.”
And have it go area by area. I don’t need an obscene amount to live here in Appalachia. A living wage for me would be a poverty wage for someone from California.
It would probably require too much thought for folks in power.
You’re right. I would love to see legislation that ties the minimum wage to cost of living.
