: “And they’ll just raise the prices!”Why not the other way around? Porky takes one for the team and lowers his prices so that way less people will want to support a raise in minimum wage?

Newsflash, prices have been going up the entire goddamn time!
$30/hr is what I would need to live dignified in a 3rd tier city. Not even purchasing a home, just living in a safe apartment complex that’s less than 50% of my income.
$30/hr in New York or SD/SF/LA would make me some new kind of communist where I call anyone who recommends a guillotine too right-wing because they believe in mercy.
If it kept up with its peak it probably would be more than $30/hour by 2030 but it does make a good slogan.
4/20/69
4 hours a day
20 hours a week
$69 an hour

I guess with AI and robots doing jobs there will be less people working.
