    $15/hr minimum wage- what's it mean to you?

    Possibly because sport is about the purest meritocracy there is, only the talented get to the top, no exploiting workers, no dodgy under the table deals. I personally still find it obscene that one person can earn such huge amounts for so little effort (comparatively) but you can't really blame...

    There is enough abundance for all, but an ever increasing wealth gap means that is no longer a possibility for most. We can't all be millionaires when when most of the wealth is held by a tiny percentage. Also, I would respectfully disagree on the work ethic issue. Both my neighbours leave for...

    I only employ one guy, and we both climb.

    My lowest paid employee is already in more than $15 an hour, and he's getting a rise soon
