15. Anyone Who Opposes (Automatic*) Increases...

In minimum wage, should be forced to live on it for at least a year, with no access to their normal income/assets.

*It should be pegged to inflation, so that we don’t keep doing this, over and over, while telling poor people “Fuck off.” Just not in so many words.

FYI, if minimum wage had kept pace with inflation, it would have been about $21 an hour back in ‘14. Wanna know what I was making in ‘14, as a new grad RN on a cardiothoracic surgery ICU at a major, and prestigious university medical center? A shade over $21 an hour. A four year degree, taking care of the sickest of sick
cardiac patients, making the equivalent of minimum wage. It would be closer to $30, today, which is about what a new RN makes at my hospital (thanks to market adjustments over the last two years).
