Florida minimum wage is going up to $15 per hour. Do you think that’s good or bad for the economy?

it’s bad. it’s only good in comparison to every other state but it’s still bad. the minimum wage should be a livable wage. $15/h isn’t enough to live in any state.

I personally think it’s bad. It benefits those who are making less than $15, because they will essentially be getting $1 raise (previous min wage was $14 per hour). It’s bad for anyone making more than $15, because now, the gap between their salary and $15 gets smaller, so I see it as losing money. Remember, when minimum wage goes up, so does everything else.

This exactly, comparatively? Great, generally? Livably? Laughable

I mean yeah but that has nothing to do with minimum wage getting raised that has to do with the lack of legislation on wage scaling. You're correct its just an entirely separate issue.
