I agree, it needs to go up. Imo if our gov. would make a real effort stop the invasion at our southern border and limit legal immigration to a reasonable level we wouldn't even need a minimum wage, but since they since don't, we do need it. And I know someone will probably point out wages have gone up recently, but inflation has gone up a lot too and given the rate at which we keep importing more cheap foreign labor (for example: the recent flood of immigration from Afghanistan) it won't be long until wages at least level off if not drop. The teen wage needs to be eliminated too. It is age discrimination against adults, since a teen can be hired for below minimum wage. This is especially bad for seasonal labor where a person may only be needed for 90 days anyways.
Also, the whole tip system is something that has long needed to be abolished. Why should I have to pay extra for "good service" when I already paid for it in the first place? The only reason it exists today is so companies can abuse it via the minimum wage law to pay their employees less than minimum wage (tipped wage) and use social pressure to force their customers to pay for their payroll costs via tips. It's wrong and I'm sick of it. Worse, some restaurants force you to pay a tip for a group whether or not you get good service and isn't rewarding good service AFTER it is given the whole point of having tips in the first place?
Walmart's delivery service tries to pull that crap on you. It adds a tip to your order by default unless you OPT OUT of paying it. I always do so too. I am drawing a line here with this tip BS. I don't pay tips to people who deliver packages from USPS, UPS or FedEx so why the hell should I tip Walmart's delivery service? I already pay a fee for the service so I shouldn't have to pay their payroll expenses too.

Lol I'd vote for Big Bird! He's gotta be a lot better than the ones we've got now and that goes for both parties.

Aaaand cap limit. I keep forgetting MO has one. FML.
You know what, I'm not even a real socialist, I'm tired of having to explain it properly, and I'm fucking lazy. I'll do it tomorrow.
What's the next topic? Minimum wage? Big Bird? That's more fun, let's go with that.

What I don't understand about socialists is that they do not trust the government when somebody like Donald Trump is president. Yet they want the government to run things top down. They didn't ask the golden question, what if they end up with a leader they don't like?
For example there was Romanian President Traian Bacescu who approved the use of public funds for his campaign. Then he announced that all government sector jobs will be getting a massive cut to wages. Romania has something like 60% of jobs being under the government. Both these measures were legal under the Romanian government.
Yet socialists want a government to have the power to do this? Sorry to break the news to them, but they won't be the ones running the show.

Not my fault it is a bad idea.
If we are electing Sesame St characters, Big Bird is the last one I would want in office. He is all talk and no action, always trying to appeal to emotion. Grover on the other hand, he actually has been reliably employed.
The Count has proven to be good with mathematics and money. He has been able to keep his estate for nearly 2 million years.
I'd give my vote to either one of those two.

My vote goes to the cookie monster because I want to see a crazed, unhinged, addict run this country into the ground to get the one thing he desires above all else.

He might sign a bill that grants emergency powers to have all industrial capacity to the production of cookies.
Meaning it would be wise to invest in Nabisco at that time.
