Only Tiny Increase to Minimum Wage in Google's Backyard

Last night after listening an intense flow of speakers supporting a minimum wage similar to that of Seattle ($15/hr), Mountain View city council retreated to one of the most social and economic justice of all time. Residents left the auditorium in anger while whispering among themselves,
"They are a bunch of cowards."

Indeed, I agreed with the audience.

This council needs to be replaced to represent the heroic ideas of its people. Especially the new generation who wants to correct the mistakes of the past. Margaret Abe-Koga demostrated to be the true voice of Mountain View. She spoke eloquently about a minimum wage to bring a social and economic justice to workers who normally work more but earn less.

in listening to other members of city council, I noticed that Ronit Bryant was unable to take a stand for fear of pressure groups and other organizations. John McAlister was a disaster as he put his ace-cream business before his ideals. R. Michal Kasperzak, Jr. seems to put business or money before any other ideals. He brings reality on the table, but he doesn't have an open mind.

Guys, we are going through a new stage of values and economic justice , and we need to take
our country back from the wrong hands. indeed, as our yongsters are getting more educated about these issues and we surprisingly realize that many things are morally wrong, especially the minimum wage.

By now we all know that the fast food workers are getting paid slavery wages, and we find very difficult to eat a hamuburger, thinking of wage theft because the cheaper are some products the less the workers are paid. Indeed, our residents don't fell and don't see the American ideal in this exploitation pattern. Time has come to bring some, "Social and Economic Justice for All."

"You all know teenagers, they've got other things on their mind when they come to work..." he said.

Ugh. What a damned ugly thing to say. Then WhyTF did you hire them? Do you usually hire people who have "other things on their mind?" That speaks to your poor judgment, doesn't it? And regardless of what they have or don't have on their mind, they're doing the job per the requirements you hired them to do and they should be paid fairly and accordingly, corporate parasite.

And when can we subject you to a grilling to see what is on your mind during these waste-of-time meetings where the decisions have been made before the meeting even began and before these purely symbolic "public comment" charades? Might you be thinking about your ice cream during these meetings at the public's expense?

"Vice-Mayor McAlister who carried on about how hard it is to be a franchise owner of a Baskin-Robbins."

Hard times all around. I'm happy to take the franchise off your frail shoulders.

You can have my food card and my shoes with holes.

You have to find your own cardboard box. Need to show a little initiative after all.

For anyone who shows up to work, I would be ashamed to pay less than $15 and hour. For a teenager who is reliable and follows instructions I pay more. He is hiring teens because they are cheap and then complaining. You get what you pay for(well, usually)
For an adult I would be ashamed to pay less than $20 and hour. And I am low income myself.
Fair is fair.
And these are minimums.

holes in my shoes too! worked for fed for nearly decades but i have holes in shoes! germany has free ''education''! greatest country in world USA?? yeah, right...
