Wow, it is so strange to be attacked for contributing to the discussion. Snark much?
Terracore - If ever I'm asking someone to sing my praises, I'll make the request clearly, and I surely won't ask you. Try addressing the actual points raised - no one else is hearing the voices in your head.
Obie- You would oppose me if I said the world is round. You tell me that the pono thing would be to give all my employees a raise; I do exactly that, every year, over and over. And none of them started at minimum. So once again, when I've done exactly as you wish, you still throw stones at me. Why? Seriously, why, Obie???
Rob- there are at least 3 other threads about GMOs. Why are you griping about Bill 113 & GMOs on a minimum wage topic? And your distaste for natural foods has been made clear, why derail this thread? But I do appreciate Rob's willingness to use his real name and stand behind his comments.
No one expects the outcome to be a $15 minimum wage. But it's time to increase it.
For those who oppose a wage increase, let's carry your logic to its conclusion - abolish the minimum wage or make it 50c/ hour. Is that the society you desire? Shall we move toward China's labor policies? Or shall we be our brother's keeper, and care about the least among us?
