Quote:I'm all for any real discussion about how to fix the problem. And the problem is obvious. There are not enough good jobs for people that want them leaving people with families to scrounge for work at these types of places. Maybe it's higher wages maybe its subsidized training but neither fixes the problem of the number of people wanting good jobs far outweighing the availability of these jobs.

 

When you have people spewing demagoguery as if these people are parasites (you all know who you are) it does not help the conversation. Nor do I think making it about kids making 30 grand adds much to it either. Finding a way for adults with the desire to work to support families is what I am concerned with and what I would like to see addressed. 

 

I do think a national MW hike is a poor idea given the COL of various places as you alluded to in your comment about NYC being able to afford the $15. It's one of the few liberal stances I don't agree with.
