No minimum wage.......if someone wants to make burgers for 20+ years then they are due whatever the company wants to pay them. On a couple of the muzzle loader forums, which seem to have a lot of old guys like me, the universal thought is to let the market decide what to pay the workers and managers.

The thoughts in CA and with the folks who control the state government now is to mandate wages and we talked about this last week in the evening computer class I was teaching. I asked each student why they were in class and the universal answer was to get a degree so they could get a better job, make more money and then advance. Several are riding along on the VA assistance (C's for grades) but when it gets close to ending they then get pretty serious (jumps up to A's and B's). They also felt the politicos that push this are doing it for votes since every time they mention it there are news conferences and lots of TV cameras so they look good!
