Honestly looks like Rock Band Bucks.

“Chupa mi heuvos.” They’re not saying to suck their literal eggs.

So…Chupa Chups are literally suck sucks?

Nice breakdown. And I agree that the better solution would be to figure out which metric to tie minimum wage to. I don’t really think throwing out a number every few years like the original reply I was responding to suggested is helpful. But it seems wildly popular here.

Insightful

All good possible points, but only one person in this thread can answer what the number basis is, so who knows.

Really looking forward to the Spacetime episode on this one if it doesn’t exist yet.

If you read the comments, it’s actually not. Inflation alone doesn’t account for pinning wages near $30, so that’s not really a good explanation given that it’s nonfactual. Even if he’s considering the living wage instead of historical minimums, $30 is still about 30% higher than what an average living wage would be. Is there some other consideration he has that I’m missing? I wouldn’t know without asking due to an unfortunate lack of psychic powers.

Anyways, sorry I asked for the policy reasoning behind a policy position. It clearly offended many, I realize my mistake, and won’t bring that kind of nonsense around here again.

I understand your sentiment, but if that’s your policy basis, you’d be asking for $10/hr instead of $15.

Not necessarily a bad idea, I just wanted to know how that number was generated, because without that data, it’s not necessarily a good idea either.

What’s the basis for $30/hr? First time seeing that number in the wild.

Y’all really making this Reddit with less content. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
