I agree that raising minimum wage is tenous at best.  Yes every dollar counts, but if there’s no work or part time work 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 hours a day instead of a full steady 40 – 44 he’s a week, pretty damn hard to swallow $100 /hr everyone but you aren’t getting because there’s no available work.

Reconfigure, please !
