    Tie minimum wage to inflation. Tie rent to it, too. Im suck of having this discussion. They stonewall on purpose.

      Yeah, the minimum wage isn’t so much the problem anymore (maybe in some areas, but definitely not all), it’s the cost of living. If we raise minimum wage, the cost of everything else just gets raised to offset it, particularly the cost of rent/property. At this point, we need to enforce rent caps before raising the wage anymore.
