Until we can create an army of intelligent robots to do the crappy jobs for us, someone will always be stuck with those jobs. I don't see why those workers should be punished for it - it could very well be you or me.

It also doesn't make sense to say they should be paid peanuts because when you worked job X, you were paid peanuts too. You're basically saying that you suffered, so everyone else should suffer too.

It shouldn't be possible to work full time and still fail to make ends meet, thru no fault of your own. So they should ask for $15, and maybe they get $12 or 13 - that's the way bargaining works. And then maybe they'll actually be making a living wage.

Of course, the corporation they work for may very well raise prices to offset loss in profits. Because heaven forbid the CEO be able to buy only one island and not two. I don't know what the answer is. Based on their track record, we can only expect the worst from most US corporations. But there needs to be a minimum wage.
