$25/hour minimum wage in Maryland???

[vraiblonde]

OMG



Just make it $100/hr. Hell, make it $1000/hr - then everyone would be RICH!

It is like welfare with a work requirement. No additional labor output but burden the "rich business owner". If you are an adult working at a minimum wage job your problem is motivation. Your lack of motivation should not require someone else to support you.

And then wonder why your McD's burger costs $10.

Imagine what it would cost if they used real food.

So, a high school kid will make $50K/year.

Even if given this minimum wage, it won't change the mindset of those who would rather suck off the govt teat than actually work.

Gonna need it to afford their ACA health plan.

They're on their parents' until they're 26.

Man, let me have one joke without blowing it up with facts. Also, it's 26 now? Damn.

Along with they will still have cashiers that can't give or count correct change.

Friends kid works at a local pizza joint, they legit pay him $22/HR now. He is trying to talk the kid into joining the Navy or going to college and all the kid wants to do is make pizzas.

Wait until there are no more pennies and the POS systems aren't reprogrammed yet to account for this. What will they do then? Was told by my bank last week they are no longer selling pennies to businesses. I have enough pennies for about 2-4 weeks then we have to decide how we will be rounding...

Not in my house, 18 was it.

I don't get this penny shortage, are people hoarding them, melting them down, eating them?

Is it like toilet paper, people heard they stopped making them and are hoarding them?

Maybe I can sell my jug I've been throwing loose change in for years for more than its worth.

Anytime since the ACA was passed you didn't have a choice, it mandated that parents' insurance cover until 26.
