    1% of workers is not very impactful for the average income

    The workers who make $20 minimum wage in SF are not affected by $7.25 minimum wage

      So we should raise the federal minimum wage so that so-called 1% of people can’t be ignored like you’re trying to do.

      This is how our argument has looked to me:

      You: “well the average is fine”

      Me: “well the average doesn’t help those at the bottom”

      You: “well they don’t matter to the average”

      Your arguments need a lot more work. You just seem soulless with the points you’re trying to make.

        We weren’t arguing about the minimal wage. You are the one who brought it up. It’s not relevant to this discussion

          Okay then what point are you trying to prove? I’ve looked at all your replies and you seem to always avoid the main question being asked.

          So, again, what is the point you are trying to make?

                When people are polled about their own situation, they say they are in a good or a very good place

                  Dec 15-17 2023, 2120 participants

                  What are the demographics of those polled?

                  You’re not proving anything here

                  Edit: addition

                  All you’re showing me is that 2120 people who weren’t busy enough to not take part in the poll during the busiest month of the year, for middle and lower class people, during 3 days. This poll proves nothing to me. All it proves is there were 2120 people from Dec 15 2023 to Dec 17 2023 who weren’t too busy to take a poll and they say their life is going well during a time most of the workforce is busy as hell.

                  What did you expect this to prove?

                    Busiest month of the year? I tried interviewing during that time and literally every company said their hr was on holidays already

                    Also that wouldn’t be a factor because they took this poll before, just as many people are busy a year ago as now. You need to see if there’s any change, that’s how polls work
