  1. College students don't usually make much more than minimum while they're paying for living expenses while going to school and inflation is always going to go up. "Boy those college students sure are getting skinnier. They're starting to look a lot more like those starving African kids you see on the news. They've gone from a Raman noodles diet to a see what's in the dumpster behind the student union building diet." Not raising minimum wages makes sense if you want young adults to starve.

  2. That might be true in a world where inflation is nonexistent. LOL.

  3. If the minimum wage doesn't increase even as inflation continues to rise we will see starvation among the young adult population in America. That's a fact. If somebody is only making $7.25 an hour but inflation made it so that the cost of groceries and other basic necessities cost a dollar or so more than it does now, don't you think that person is pretty much fucked when it comes to buying things? Meanwhile, rich people in America laugh at the working class who they regard as the peasant class.
