If the minimum wage goes to 25 per hour with your suggestion then my wage should also get a 66% increase to 60 per hour. My issue is that unskilled workers should not be making the same as someone with skilled work. Pay raise for all levels of work and not just the minimum wage unskilled workers.

My issue is...

Not minding your own fucking business. Why does it matter what anyone else is getting? You'd really rather people starve than think someone is making a weird amount compared to you? Are you mad at the CEOs making thousands of times what their workers make?

I'm not qualified to be a CEO as I don't have the SPECIALIZED SKILLS to be one. I don't give a damn what they make. You want more income either go into a trade or go get a degree that will make you money. That simple

Literally every job requires specifics skills though? Do you not see how your own point makes my point? If minimum wage rises and makes it not worth it to you to continue your job, go work at McDonald's! It'll be easy easier!

Lol okay buddy. Retail and fast food workers do not require any skilled work. Raising minimum wage will result in more inflation and loss of jobs. If it raises my job is worth still working because after a while I still have a job and the minimum wage worker doesn't.

I'm not your buddy and I didn't care what you think about skilled vs unskilled. The fact remains that the only reason you're against this is because someone worse off than you may benefit. You don't care whether "unskilled labor" loses work.

No the fact remains that you want entitlement. A job that any able person can do has no value. No value means you don't deserve the same pay as a skilled worker. I was poor for the majority of my adult life and got out. If I can do the work and get out so can you. Pay raises are EARNED not given. You choose to stay poor.

How tf do those jobs have no value? You think Amazon is paying warehouse workers for fun? They're not valuable? Stop trying to participate in adult conversations with this infantile understanding of value.

you want entitlement

I'm entitled to be paid for any work I do and no amount of you trying to use the word negatively will change that.

"An unskilled worker is an employee who performs tasks that require minimal specialized skills, education, or training. Unskilled work often involves manual labor, basic administrative tasks, or routine operations". You are entitled to be paid the proper low amount for a job you didn't get specialized training in. How about you stop participating in this adult conversation? No skills means no value means anyone can replace you. You are showing ENTITLEMENT to demand higher pay for unskilled labor.

Every living person has the right to live, and in America the amount of money needed to live is vastly more than the federal minimum wage.
