    Doesn’t create an issue, creates an opportunity

    “Pay me more or I’ll go get a job at a fast food place” is a simple and easy argument for raises at any reasonable place

      Or just work a part time gig at McDonald’s for a couple 5 hour shifts a week to supplement your career job.

      Makes it pretty appealing to think about flipping some burgers for $20 an hour, $100 a day 2-3 days a week.

      Could be an extra $1,000 a month or so for people looking for something to supplement their income.

        It disincentives gaining skills that can only earn less than 40k a year.

        You’re looking at this backwards. It essentially would make a business compete with every other minimum wage job if all they’re offering is $20/h. They either raise wages to lure skilled workers, or try to provide some other benefits.
