I would actually set an adult minimum wage and one for kids. if you’re business can run with kids, go ahead and hire kids. If not, you’re paying $15 hour.

It’s less than 3% of the population. I don’t know Florida up close fine, but cost of living varies massively regionally. City and county wage floors may make sense. A federal one does not.

Have you bought anything to eat in the Newark airport in the last 4 or 5years? Here's links to a few companies selling the technology already. https://kiosk.com/market-solutions/order-entry/ https://www.touchbistro.com https://www.oracle.com/industries/food-beverage/restaurant-pos-systems/pos-hardware/self-service-kiosks/ You can bury your head in the sand and say companies will knuckle under and pay more or go out of bidness. My point is they have other options which you seem to discount. We'll see how it works out. Edited June 25, 2021 by reddogblitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 6 hours ago, SectionC3 said: Probably because your dear leader thought COVID-19 was a hoax and refused to take any meaningful steps to mitigate it before hundreds of thousands of people died and the economy was nearly shattered last year. That's what started the whole thing. Now people are used to their Trump Socialism handouts and we have to wean ourselves from such monies. The free money should have stopped awhile ago. But you have nobody but Trump to blame for this mess. So one person to blame? What should he have done differently above and beyond what he did that would have saved us all? 1 hour ago, Governor said: In NJ, you can make like 2000/month and still qualify for FULL HC and FULL dental through the state. No co-pays. Floridians, think about that. That would cover like 75 percent of your entire workforce. FULL DENTAL! Brush, floss and regular cleanings and dental insurance is a waste of money.

I work at Publix as the grocery “team leader” and make 13.25 an hour. I’m not a kid. A kid can’t perform this job. Most of my friends are 25-45 and fall in this income. Using this formula, show me where I can live in Tampa as a single male with no children. This should be entertaining. Go with a ratio multiplier. In this case, the standard multiplier is 3. That means that the applicant should make at least three times his or her gross monthly income to cover rental expenses. The math would look like this: Monthly Rent X 3 = Minimum monthly rental income For example, if the rent on an apartment costs $1,500 per month, then the applicant must gross a minimum of $4,500 per month in income.
