The discussion around
increasing minimum wage
is heating up in the US.
Eventually,
minimum wage
WILL be increased.
Why?
Because it is the right thing
to do.
People who work
a full time job
with full time hours
deserve
a wage that will allow them
to survive.
(Surviving is not
‘living’.
It is merely surviving.)
And a higher minimum wage
will benefit small business.
(Despite big business
framing that it won’t benefit
small business.)
One of the key reasons
Walmart
and McDonald’s
drove smaller Mom and Pop
stores and restaurants
out of business
was due to these large companies
being able to
pay their employees sh*t wages.
Wages are a small component
of Mom and Pop businesses.
Owners receive profits,
not wages.
They are a huge component
of these massive businesses.
A higher minimum wage
in the US
is coming.
Plan your business
around that.
