You know, I'm not one for the endless debate about how much people "should be paid for their work"...
...cause generally speaking, we are living in a time period where you can have a variety of jobs, each with different pay rates, and if you feel comfortable at one of those jobs, then you can push yourself to climb up the ladder towards a higher position with higher pay...
...and that's what work is all about; bettering yourself and pushing yourself for a higher position and a higher reward.
But with this debate about increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour nationwide, I only have one question to ask;
Where are you going to get this money to finance the $15 an hour wage increase?
That money cannot come out of thin air.
It HAS to come from somewhere.
And sadly, it looks like it's going to come from one of two options; either increased taxes, or increased prices on goods and services.
Always remember; TANSTAAFL (There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch)
Everything has a cost, everything has a downside, and everything has to come from somewhere.
And all the while the D.C. Shitshow continues to burn like the dumpster fire that it is.
*sigh*
Until next time folks...
Goodnight America, and to all the ships out at sea.
