I think it's great that the Oregon minimum wage is going up. It's much needed!

People cannot live on what the minimum wage is now. Simple logic!

Leslie Ann

BUT THE COST OF LIVING NEEDS TO QUIT RISING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, BENEFIT THE PEOPLE.

Sheri Clarke

Too many people lost their jobs.

Randy Gillespie

Thank you Andrea you must feel the same way I do we've on the front lines from the beginning and all we get is abused by all the people that took time off for the pandemic and have free money to step on the back of people to try to help them out nobody cares about the Frontline worker God help Ameri

Randy Gillespie

I think the price increase is great for people to get back to work and get off an appointment and living off the government cuz this is not the American way Americans work for a living get off your ass and go back to work

Andrea Keller

I also think that people who are holding out on unemployment should return to work. Some of us have been working throughout the pandemic without the option of taking government aid or unemployment. it's time to do your fair share and participate in the community you live in

I don't think 75 cents is enough. The minimum wage is not a livable wage.

It kills jobs

Scott Albert

This poll is redundant. It is a simple fact(common sense) that an increased minimum wage costs jobs.

Christena

It's not necessary at all. Living costs going down would be a better answer.

Ed Ludwig

Minimum wage was never meant to live on.

tim collins

Like always it just gets passed to the consumer.

Kristina Biederman

It's not necessarily only about salary. The cost of living (food, housing, gas, health insurance, etc) have all greatly increased. Paying increased minimum wage results in increased prices for businesses that often cannot afford to pay more.

Sorina Kawas Mooney

Hurts the small business owners. They will just hire fewer people to compensate. Geez, tired of people who have NEVER run a business before making these kinds of decisions.

I should be $15!

Renting in this town is all ready on the absolutely crazy side. Increasing minimum wage will just makes things worse. its bad enough i get my rent raised every year and well this increase wont cover it at all. The renting prices are out of hand and I feel no matter how much I make it wont matter

Amanda Wallace

It doesn't help because it just causes the cost of everything to increase. Therefore, it makes no difference.

Kimmy Wasatch

It will never be enough, as long as people get "free money" from the state and federal programs, they will not work. Stop the handouts!

All they have to do is start the first 30 to 40 minutes of the movie in the full classic costume with mask on. After that no one will care who is under the mask.

I suck at fan casting but a rebooted franchise calls for a new Wolverine, and it's an opportunity to bring in someone smaller and scrappier.

It simply just CANT be done

Everything Nerdy

They're going to need to do a very different take on the character if they don't use Hugh Jackman if they want it to work.

I enjoy watching celebrities and award shows!

Patricia Quiroz-Alfaro

I vote for my favorite actors and awards also give me an idea of what I want to watch. Other than that winners don't matter to me.

Jeanette Johnson

Haven't watched any of them in decades. Who wants to see some very rich celebrities pat each other on the back and tell us all their political views?

Ed Drahos

Award shows are nothing more than self promotion of themselves. And act like self advertising. Like advertising, the less advertising the less popularity.

Garrett

The award shows once mattered. Since they have become so much more than a few once or twice a year but rather at least a 100, all with varying degrees of actual criteria beyond marketing campaigns and now the over-compensating “inclusive,” nature of certain categories going out of their way
