An employee at a major bank in Florida was so grateful we passed 15 an hour min. She makes roughly 19 an hour and her son works in retail. She said how pleased she was that they would earn more money. I stated "how we going to make more money"? She went on to explain her 20 years of service is worth a lot more than min wage. I responded the 15 an hour is like food stamps, designed to help the poorest among us. She than asked the manager when they raise the min wage 1.5 will she get more money. To which she was told no, just the annual raise if available. It was at that moment she understood. Telling me if she could work at the zoo for 15 an hour why would she work in a high stress office. To which I responded "you wouldn't". In hind sight I should have said those making 100k would prolly get raises.

And now you understand. It's just a push for automation. Some cockbag large retailer like Amazon, CostCo or Walmart probably bought the state politicians to push this shit.

Yes and the stupidity of average Joe shows. They happily hold out their hands and worship Biden while their jobs are being taken away permanently and they are being relegated to the ranks of slave. I mean African slaves also got free room and board.

It was our dumbass voters last November that passed it on ballot.
