"the average person on the minimum wage doesn't have 100 years before they have to pay rent and buy groceries" The average person on minimum wage doesn't have to wait. We offer food stamps, housing vouchers, and Medicaid to those who need it. "If what you claim is a good idea, then it is a good idea to do it now." Apparently not, cuz nobody but you is suggesting that. However, we just raised it a buck here, and we will again in a year, which sounds an awful lot like my proposal, but of limited duration. We're working on that right now... the bill, as introduced, would raise California’s minimum wage to $11 in 2016 (instead of $10 under current legislation passed in 2013) and $13 in 2017. After 2017, the bill calls for regular minimum wage increases indexed to inflation. lexology.com "Those road holes you want filled require talent and skill which are not available to most unemployed," You must have really dumb people in NZ.
