That would only make sense if the cost of living keeps increasing, and the value of the dollar keeps decreasing with time, but surely that doesn’t happen in real life.
Lol, I was actually just about to bring that up. OLB’s $1.35 would equal more than $11.00/hour now. So, we’re talking about an increase - for a full-time worker - of $4.00 per hour, or about $8000 per year.
I think that would make a significant difference in quality of life for a lot of people.

I've known a bunch of minimum wage workers over the years - and NEVER did I hear a minimum wage worker cheer about getting a few extra sheckels a month. Without fail - in a month or two they were right back to paycheck to paycheck....
It is political felatio. Nothing more.
