So I don't get why people complain about workers wanting a raise in minimum wage. From what I understand they seem to think a minimum wage increase would make everything else around us more expensive like gas, food, etc. Well minimum wage didn't increase that much and gas rose to 4 dollars a gallon. Prices were already increasing while workers were asking for a minimum wage increase. It's not like minimum wage workers are asking for a lot. There are those who want to work 6 figures to be able to afford a house/mansion and there are those who just want enough to be able to afford rent plus other essentials.
