[QUOTE="Netsua 3:16, post: 3667106, member: 73764"] The reason that there is a clamoring for min wage increase is because the cost of living to wages ratio is inhumane. Sure, there are good jobs out there (like UPS) but there are people in their 30's everywhere around the country providing a true public service that struggle to keep the lights on. As in this thtead just a couple posts ago, the conversation always goes to "stop whining and work harder." I myself simply learned to adapt. I spent years in construction learning a trade and struggling, never got anywhere. UPS is a tough place to work and I'm proud and lucky to be able to handle it. Not everybody can. That's my point; we don't live in humane times. That is the disconnect. I'd like for everybody to be able to adapt to this enviroment vut it's absolutely stupid to think that everybody will. As a society, we are collectively responsible for improving the conditions of living for future generations. If we don't, no one will. Also, min wage WAS CREATED with the intention of being a livable wage. "Bare sustinence living," which should mean a place to live, food and means for transportation and or communication. [/QUOTE]
