People should be able to making a living wage. Homelessness perpetuates when people cannot make a living wage. This shows up in mostly red states that have not raised the minimum wage beyond $7-something in years. At least the states that pay around $15-18/hr. are trying to do right.

During the Pandemic it was claimed that people received more from unemployment than from their actual job. So why is it even a debate about raising the minimum wage? I will always believe that America's greatest resource is its people.

What's the hurry? With inflation the way it is, it won't matter if we get a refund or have to pay. LGB/FJB

I wonder if people know what a totem pole is? You start low and work your way up. It is really that easy to understand. I have seen plenty of success regardless of race.
