Florida's minimum wage will go up this weekend.

By a nickel.

I mean why the F bother with a nickel?

That's not just an insult, that's a slap in the face.

1. The Democratic party, including both Hillary and Bernie made clear their support for 15 dollar

minimum wage, college tuition relief, preserving the social programs, etc. Florida has consistently elected their Governor and state officials who are against the 15 dollar minimum wage, so as insensitive as this may sound, they are getting what they asked for

2. Our new president believes minimum wage earners make too much.

And, the truth is, if we are to compete with the countries where he has his ties made, they are.

A patriot would find a way to make a product and pay an American to do it and pay them a living wage at the same time.

That is what a real patriot would do.

I have been angry with APPLE (among others) for a long time for this very reason.

3. That sucks. Hard to believe Rick Scott is governor after what he did as CEO of Columbia/HCA
