House Passes Bill to Raise Minimum Wage to $15, a Victory for Liberals

[LurkMoar]

Never try to get a raise. It's physically impossible for your boss to pay you more. The Earth would split asunder and swallow his business whole.

Ignore the raise he gave himself, that should have been hidden by the Invisible Hand, you were not supposed to see that.

Federally mandating 15 dollars and hour makes no sense, let the states accommodate to their standards of living.



California's cost of living is so outrageous it probably needs 18hr if were being honest the same cant be said for Wisconsin or Texas






Theres a reason Walmart, amazon and other mega corporations are pushing for 15 nationally... Chess not checkers breh

Wrong. The states where workers are in the worst poverty are the same states run by the worst politicians. Fifteen everywhere, yesterday. And bump it to 16 next year.

Automate everything, and capitalism would be forced to give BASIC INCOME to all citizens

Then humanity will enter a new era of prosperity

$15 min wage is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard. How is it a victory when this will never pass the Senate? Is the hope that the Dems take the Senate and Presidency in 2020 while maintaining control in the House so that the bill can be signed?

I agreed with Obama's $10.10 proposal. I would even be ok with $9.25.
