They've been at record lows for years.

Most of those prices have increased because of increases in energy prices. It takes a lot more than a minimum wage hike in one city to cause inflation.

Aha, so the waiters do make the same hourly minimum wage.... Apparently, they can make around $60,000/year..... waiting tables.....wow..... fuck college!

Yuppie, " I went to college, spent $250,000 and now I make $75,000 /year"

Waitress, " I got my GED, started working 4-6 years sooner and make $60,000 working part time"

I don't know how it's calculated, but when I waited several years ago, it was only $2.51/hr

And to make $60K+ you need to work hard, at a very popular place with customers who aren't cheap

I cant wait until our economy is as inflated as China's. 1 million of our money to equal 100 of another countries currency.

Your yard guy. And the cleaners at the retail location. And the dishwashers, and line cooks at restaurants. And the construction workers. And the contractors. And the taxi drivers. And....
