Seattle raises minimum wage to $15/hr

[BraveUlysses]

yet our poorest of the poor are among the top 20% of wealthiest on the planet . All in what you compare it too

Nobody but you is making that terrible comparison, because it's not relevant in any way.

[mulletman]

Haha, nailed it...

Burgers are $1 everywhere.
There's more people dieing of over eating then starving.

[nando]

$1 burgers are garbage food and only make healthcare issues worse.

[LowR3V'in]

Garbage food for garbage people.

[nando]

Right. So everyone who makes less money than your are less worthy or less human. At least we know where your values are rooted.

WTF just happened here?

[einhander]

I didn't say it was easy, did you see me use the words "just or simply"? Making more money should be difficult, it's called going to WORK for a reason. You act like these workers are sentenced to work for pennies a day without any other options.

Jesus. This again. If only poor people would work harder....

My response was about these Walmart workers having the freedom to choose where they work. Conditions and pay are too low, find a different job.

Right because the job market is thriving and employers are handing out hand jobs along with good jobs.

Comparison????? WTF its a fact. Not that facts actually matter in fantasy land. While this particular fact does not hold much weight in this topic you cant really refute it and brush it aside because it dose not fit with in your argument either.

Like I said the 1st time, its all what you compare it to.

[einhander]

If cost of living were the same around the world the comparison would make sense.

But that isn't the case.

[mrsleeve]

I dont disagree with that, dont think thats what I was inferring from the get go either

[einhander]

Pray tell, to what were you inferring?

Oh right! I forgot, our society is used to "hand outs" as you say instead of working for a better job/position. Sad sign of the times.
