What they really ought to do is increase the legal minimum wage to match up with the rate of inflation. But no, there was no mention of that whatsoever...
- Increasing the minimum wage would damage corporate profits. I don't think you will see this happening under Trump.
  What I can see happening under Trump is abolishing minimum wage altogether. That would totally fit his and his parties agenda.
  
  I wonder if that would drive people out of Red States and into Blue States that have an actual economy. Though, I guess if that happens we'd probably see the reinstating of Child Labour...
  
  That's a disturbing thought, but given the state of the current shitshow, that sadly sounds about right.
  Don't give them any ideas though..
- Best I can do is.....increase your taxes.
- You're right, the federal minimum wage hasn't increased in 15 years.
  $7.50
  That's still the baseline minimum wage for 20 of our States. Why isn't that a more talked about conversation?
