      It’s in the article:

      The $20 minimum wage is just a starting point. The law creates a fast food council that has the power to increase that wage each year through 2029 by 3.5% or the change in averages for the U.S. Consumer Price Index for urban wage earners and clerical workers, whichever is lower.

      The raise takes effect on April 1

          Dude, it’s McDonald’s. Like, almost anyone can do it. It takes an hour’s worth of training, and no specialized skills, and they’re paying 275% above the federal minimum wage.

            The federal minimum wage is already impossibly low. That’s not a useful comparison.

              So you don’t think $20 an hour to work at McDonald’s as a brand new employee, living somewhere like Tulare, CA is fair? What do you think is fair then?

            NBA players don’t deserve millions to play basketball, either.

              I never said they don’t deserve it, I said it’s 275% above minimum wage for menial labor. Seems pretty great to me, but the person I was replying to still seems to be complaining about it.

              Edit: regarding NBA players, they’re the absolute best in the entire world at what they do, and they’re part of an industry that makes money hand over fist. There’s only a few hundred people on the planet that can play at that level. They’ve trained their entire lives to get to where they are.
