Why would I run around a hospital working my ass off troubleshooting complex problems all day when I could sack groceries and make the same. Hell, at least I'd be outside some of the day.
You wage/salary would go up, inflation would take place. Look at Norway, minimum wage is $25 an hour and they're doing great. Finland and Sweden hold up pretty well even though they are taxed a lot...great schools, low inequality. Someone should bring Vicious into the discussion.

Kick every illegal out of the country and wages will go up.
When the recession took place and INS was doing raids every once in a while fruit growers were short of workers. They took out ads trying to hire workers but Americans were not willing to work for minimum wage 12-16 hours in the sun without health benefits. Some applied for work, but many left the first day as the work was too much for them.
So fruit growers were left with a worker shortage because they couldn't find any workers. Wages haven't gone up and will not, the margin is already too normal.

^^ Exactly. And all the BS about how they refuse to learn English... dumb. Complete refusal to integrate into our culture, and it's rewarded.
My brother's best friend has a B.S. in Computer Science but has been doing Construction for the last 6 years here in America. Law-abiding citizen. Good guy that is smart and has his head on his shoulders. But he can't get citizenship at this point. So he won't be able to get a Computer Science job.It's retarded.
A citizen that can't get citizenship, how does that work?
Businesses are motivated to offer services in Spanish....money comes before patriotism and if speaking Spanish increases the margin, then so be it. However, learning and speaking passable English should be a requirement for residency.
Too many people bring their families who don't bring any skills to the country and further depress construction wages. Is your bro's bff an american? There are jobs if he's willing to work like an H1B, cheap salary and plenty of work. If he's really good, he can get a good salary and go home at 5, I know HB1s who work 40/wk and earn 70-100K. H1Bs depress wages.

What's your opinion on taking community college courses to keep put loans into forbearance? One only needs 6 hours and it costs 120-160 a semester, 600 a year. It freezes loans and you learn something. Time to learn programming, cooking, brush up on math.

My issue is not with "wage workers should do better, they want to mooch off from one's profits!" but rather companies are passing their salary gap burden to taxpayers, so long-story short...we are providing welfare for companies.
Pay workers 7.75, let the government (taxpayers) pay them X amount via welfare, and lets keep a nice profit. If businesses want to do this, they should be taxed for they cost that we have to pitch in.
Welfare went from being assistance to the needy to a business-model for businesses and some citizens.
Some of the "poor" descriptions by are incorrect. They don't have many entertainment options since they have no income to spend. It's "food or gas/bus ticket" every day or rent every month. There's more food/housing insecurity than before. Poor people usually owe money to multiple people due to living from payday to payday. If you got enough to spend on redbox, you're not that poor.
