also do the math. me and my friend were talking about this recently and once you do the math, tying in taxes as well, those making $18/hr would still be considered the working poor and struggling to survive

$25 to $30 is a liviable rage
What the Minimum Wage Would Be If It Kept Pace With Productivity
Until 1968, the minimum wage not only kept pace with inflation, it rose in step with productivity growth. The logic is straightforward; we expect that

That’s more than a livable wage here. But I agree make it higher.
But that’s not feasible for a ton of small businesses FYI.
Everybody don’t work for Fortune 500 companies

I can't speak for anyone else but I do agree that if these CEO's are making billions of dollars off people's hard work then it shouldn't be an issue paying people an actual living wage that covers all expenses.
But the south is cheaper to live than most northern and western states. It's fact. Lol.

first off, nobody should have to move to timbuktu just to survive or catch their breath from the throes of late capitalism. plus, you can look and see that the cost of living in the south is comparable to the that of the north.
you may find some disparities in the cost of living because of things like the weather (heat/ac/transportation methods etc) other than that? in 2021, the cost of living is relatively high every damn where.

We all agree companies like Amazon def needs to pay folks more due to the money they take in.
Nobody is even arguing that. But certain wages in certain stats is vastly different when it comes to living comfortable.

Oh, I know... trust me.. LMAO.
I've lived in many places in and outside of this country and I know the cost of living is and can be totally different from state to state, county to county, city to city, and block to block....

My cousins in Cali would love $25-$30/hr. You think no matter the job that should be the hourly wage...I can't see that.
To me the bigger issue is inflation and commodity cost. I guess you can credit it to greed but some of the shit we "need" to live shouldn't cost what it cost. My Aunts house in Cali was valued at $500,000....it's 2br 1bath no garage maybe 1100sf. No way in hell her house worth almost triple my new house with 3br 2bath 1350 sf and a 2 car garage. Half my family in Cali cant afford to live there but refuse to move.
