The 15-an-hour minimum wage push was a huge mistake… and everyone except for idiotic liberals elites, who live in their urban or coastal bubbles, called it… If progressives moved forward with the push, companies that are offering “starting jobs” for young people, or folks who need experience, would reimagine how they do business and eliminate “humans” altogether… It’s a terrible idea, and in the long run, will make things worse for working-class people.
Evie Magazine nailed it.
Progressive politicians and pundits want you to think that raising the minimum wage to $15 is a noble, just thing to do. “It’s what you would do if you really cared about minorities and poor people.”
But as utopian and moral as a $15 minimum wage may sound, it actually harms the very people it claims to help: low-wage, low-skilled workers who are looking to climb the professional ladder. The United States of America is an incredibly diverse country, with 50 different states, each of which operates differently economically. To give you some perspective, consider the median wage in Mississippi: $15 an hour. Compare that to the median wage in California, $21.24, and the median wage in Washington, $23.15. For a state like Mississippi (and there are more of them than you might think), a $15 federal minimum would be the same as implementing a $21 minimum wage in California. It would be considered absurd. It would be struck down within seconds.
And yet, this is exactly what nearly half the country would deal with if the minimum wage were suddenly raised to $15 an hour.
Many small businesses in small towns will have to fire some employees just to stay afloat.
For those of us living in a coastal liberal city, it’s easy to forget that most businesses around the country don’t function in the same capacity as Apple or Macy’s. It makes no sense whatsoever that a small, family-owned diner in rural Kentucky should be required to pay each and every one of their employees the same amount that a large corporation like Walmart is required to pay theirs. In fact, many small businesses in rural areas or small towns would have to fire some employees just to stay afloat. And that certainly means they won’t be hiring anybody new anytime soon.
Well, thanks to the push from liberals to raise the minimum wage, many companies are making major adjustments and eliminating “human jobs” altogether.
So now, the minimum wage is zero.
Thanks, Dems…
This is exactly what’s happening at McDonald’s, where you can now get your food with no interaction with a human being at all… in Texas!

Everything liberals touch turns to you-know-what.
So, the question is: would you rather deal with a robot or a human at a restaurant?
