The consequences of increasing the minimum wage to 25 dollars an hour.

I’m being a devils advocate here so here’s what I think. Suddenly everyone can afford a house, causing housing prices to skyrocket. Either people working higher than minimum wage would have to accept they make the same amount as minimum wage earners or everyone elses wages will also increase. Companies will probably increase the prices of the products and services because they are greedy like that. In other words cost of living would increase dramatically as well.

3 days trial, but no one told me to come tomorrow

In summary, they told me that they would do a 3-day test in a job with 2 other people, at the end of the third day one of the three people was added to a group, where all those who were left at work would go to another location at the beginning of the week (Permanently, in the final location) both me and the other person were not added either, one would understand that the 3-day test ended, and we didn't make the cut to get in. Now I get a message asking me why I didn't go to work. If they tell me that it is only 3-day test, and I was not added to a group where the people who stayed permanently are, should I still go to “work”?

Link between dealing friendship and increasing work requirements?

After reading this study, I wonder if there's a link between ever-increasing work requirements and a decline in community engagement that would go along with the decline in friendship. Could this also be part of the reason behind the decline in church attendance? What else is suffering because of the burdens of working too many hours or too many jobs? I'd love the read a study that pulls it all together. I searched Google, but couldn't find one.

Progressive companies

You ever call BS when they are all about being progressive until it comes to the money. For example, companies not complying with pay transparency laws, union busting, low balling wages, etc…. The point being don’t beat your chest as you are better than these other companies because you support X, Y, Z cause but don’t give a damn about your employees livelihood
