Minimum wage specifically? Absolutely! The government should not concern it’s self with what two private entities decide is an acceptable rate of pay for a given task.

I don’t want to pull this card, but I have a graduate degree in economics (which is why HamNo usually keeps me in the greys)

What exactly is your problem with allowing adult full-time workers to exist above the poverty line? How the hell does that affect you? $35k is not a lot of money. People will still be motivated to get better employment at any given time. If the job is that easy, they will scale down the total number of workers while…

I guess we will see what the market does... but at some point, the working force needs to make a livable wage. $35k and healthcare in the Boston area isn’t insane or unreasonable.

Thanks for just restating Harvard’s position.

What you’re saying is that, because the job is low-skill, the people who perform the job don’t deserve to make a living wage. They didn’t go to college, so in the summer, they can just starve, I guess.

So now you’re the arbiter of how much someone should be paid based on its difficulty level? I could argue that there are a lot of jobs that are objectively easier than working in a dining hall who get paid a lot more.

I don’t consider asking for a living wage outrageous.

$35,000 a year seems like a lot to ask to you? You have a weird definition of “a lot.”

She had the best line of the reunion: ‘What is wrong with you, Bethenny?’ Sums up the entire season in one line.

Same. Thankfully I didn’t see it when it came out I theatres, but waited for it to come on on video.

And then somehow summon all your friends so you never have to leave the bed.

The hug at the end! Carole was trying to get in, and was awkwardly shut out. My kingdom for that in a gif!

This season taught me:

Facts are un-American. Why do you hate the troops?

I take your point, but I’d say that finding out your husband of 20 years is cheating on you via a gossip column is kind of the gift that keeps on giving in terms of earned sympathy points, no?

Luann’s Jenna Maroney-level of delusion about her relationship with Tom is both disturbing and delightful.

Bethenny’s bed meltdown was one of the funniest scenes of television of 2016. I would debate anyone on that.
