“if fast food workers are paid a living wage then skilled workers will feel undervalued!” sounds like a fucking personal problem my guy
*looks at clipboard* Hmmm, I have here that the same guy who says the above quote also frequently dismisses others with the phrase “Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
WE HAVE A COGNITIVE DISSONANCE IN AISLE THREE, SOMEBODY GET THE INTERN AND A MOP
@girderednerve: #also spillover effects are a pretty well-documented Thing#like when the minimum wage goes up so do the just-over minimum wage tier jobs#like as long as you’re not hiking it up like $5 immediately#if there’s like a graduated increase or something#it’s got positive effects#anyway we should raise the minimum wage a lot and then FUCKING PEG IT TO INFLATION#raise the minimum wage you heartless fascists
In my case, I don’t even make $10/hr at the job I’ve had since 2008 so if they start raising the minimum to $15 I’ll eventually get a raise and that’s the only way I ever will, so.
