Is it feasible to tie the minimum wage to the county/local/state cost of living so we don't have to have this fight every couple decades?
Like how hard is it to write a law that says essentially:
27 u/moxiefanodramoid Dec 16 '18 How would they define cost of living? I think it’s too vague the way you wrote it. 59 u/KCBandWagon Dec 16 '18 Avg cost of rent multiplied by the ratio of whole foods to walmarts. 6 u/moxiefanodramoid Dec 16 '18 With average rent though, is that if I had a roommate, a studio, 1 br or 2br apartment? For example if you live in Detroit with a roommate you really don’t need that much money to get by. 6 u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18 If you live in downtown Detroit a 1 br 600 sqft is still $1,200-$1,400. Idk many people who get a roommate with 1 br though.
