    That’s the federal minimum wage, cities have certainly raised their own minimum wages

    That’s why only like 1% of workers make the federal minimum wage

        1% of workers is not very impactful for the average income

        The workers who make $20 minimum wage in SF are not affected by $7.25 minimum wage

          So we should raise the federal minimum wage so that so-called 1% of people can’t be ignored like you’re trying to do.

          This is how our argument has looked to me:

          You: “well the average is fine”

          Me: “well the average doesn’t help those at the bottom”

          You: “well they don’t matter to the average”

          Your arguments need a lot more work. You just seem soulless with the points you’re trying to make.

            We weren’t arguing about the minimal wage. You are the one who brought it up. It’s not relevant to this discussion

              Okay then what point are you trying to prove? I’ve looked at all your replies and you seem to always avoid the main question being asked.

              So, again, what is the point you are trying to make?

                Things are not, in fact, worse

                In fact, things are better

                    When people are polled about their own situation, they say they are in a good or a very good place
