From the Star’s Voices section on a $10 minimum wage.
They are called minimum wage jobs for a reason. If you don’t like the pay, get an education and find something better.
Scott Mitchell, Brampton
You know this guy would be crying when everyone suddenly got an education and there was no one to serve him his Starbucks in the morning.
There is a vast range of jobs that have to be done in an overcomplicated society like ours. Not everyone can, or wants to be a doctor. That doesn’t mean we can make them live on poverty wages.
Many clever folks like Mr. Mitchell take the fact that people working for minimum wage are able to merely subsist on such low wages as proof of the wage’s sufficiency.
Anything above going-to-die-tomorrow-from-malnutrition-or-exposure is pure gravy, baby!
