I agree that not everyone that works at minimum wage jobs is unskilled and that some people do work really hard and deserve a raise. I don't believe that it's the governments right or job to say that everyone that was making that wage deserves a raise. Yes, there are a lot of people working lower wage jobs now due to the ecomony, however, this raise started what, two years ago? If they want to raise wages, invest in education and trade or technical schools. It would be better for the whole country in the end and cheaper.

This post kinda died. Let's bring it back and see where we end up!

I'm southeast near hobby... What's up my fellow Houstonians?!

is it 7.55? something right around there. And I remember working for minimun wage at 5.15. My issue is that cost of living is just going to go up more with the minimum wage and they aren't raising everyones wages because it would cause inflation and lower the value of the dollar. So if you don't want to raise everyones pay, why this special group with no skills? What have they done to earn it?

Is anyone else that makes above the minimum wage just spitting nails? I am.

Does anyone know if there's a group that meets up? I would love to meet more people of like mind locally.

Thanks!

"I will follow you into the dark" by Death Cab for Cutie

Love of mine, someday you will die
but i'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light, or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy sign
If theres no one beside you when your soul embarks
then i'll follow you into the dark.

ECT...


sorry, didn't want to post the whole song

Thanks! I appriciate the welcome
