usually agree/not a crit
Very few people make minimum wage (less that 3% of workers). If you're working a gig for 6 months at min wage and haven't gotten a raise, either you suck or your employer sucks, either way, get a new min wage job. On the other hand, raising min wage isn't going to make our soft tacos and cheeseburgers go up dramatically in cost as wages make up a tiny percentage of the cost of a taco. I've changed my mind on this topic over the last few years. I was in the "don't raise it/there shouldn't be one" camp for most of my adult life, but I've realized it just doesn't matter all that much. Raising it a bit will make a lot of people happy and won't hurt me (or you) much at all.
..and yes, I have worked min wage jobs...3 times....all for less than a couple of months as I, like most min wage employees, got a raise and later, GTFO and moved on to something better.
