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.

Absolute morons who don't realize this.
Same assholes who complain about rent but don't understand greenbelting.
Can you explain what greenbelting is? (English is not my 1st language)
Liberals trying to inflate the price of their shithole cities. It generally boils down to this.
This has been California's recipe for shit housing prices for the last 30 years. If you need a reference model, take a look at the SF bay in google earth sometime and note the nice little eco-fascist green belt surrounding it.
