15 dollars/hr wage. So if I ask for more money at my job because the mega-corporation that tax dodges who runs it is making record profits...it is MY fault if they fire all the humans to hire robots so they can make 3X the profit to tax dodge?

Literally no one pushing for raising the minimum wage ever talks about pinning it to inflation. The elites who push it as a way to lower real wages across the board absolutely do not want that, and the useful idiots are too stupid to think it up themselves.

I literally have a news paper here and four democraps have said that they would pin it on a yearly or every two year cyclical basis to inflation.

First off what a politician says should be disregarded entirely. They will literally write a bill to great fanfare that they know can't pass, then vote directly against whatever they claim to be for. Stop falling for that bullshit.

Make every proposal include pinning it to inflation or STFU.

Second, minimum wage increases are the carrot that democrats use to herd their flock of sheep. They are absolutely not going to give that up by creating a permanent solution. That is not how any of this works.
