And there are still voices against least income with arguments like:
- It increases inflation - inflation increased when companies got greedy, not when paying higher wages
- It destroys jobs - that didn't happen at all
- Simple things like hair cuts, farming products will become too extensive - also didn't happen - at least not because of least income
- It's not necessary since incomes went up already due to labor and experts shortage - are they for real?
And there are still discussions to exempt things like seasonal workers or even elderly care workers from it - unbelievable.
A coworker if mine is actually arguing against minimum wage because his wife, who studied engineering is barley above minimum wage and increasing minimum wage would invalidate her extra effort for her diploma... You find a lot of mind acrobatics around arguments against minimum wage...
