If you are trying to raise a family on minimum wage, and can't figure out anything to do earn more, you are probably eligible for disability. We all appreciate your firm grip on the realities of life, I'm sure.

No, you ignorant slut, no one could even begin to guess exactly WHAT you "support," given your posting history. You are in the corner surrounded by wet paint and you're holding the freaking brush and paint can and all you can propose is to rely on the "generosity" of business owners to raise wages if their business is doing well. Wages "naturally" go up in only two ways, 1) to attract valuable, better skilled workers and 2) to acquire labor where workers are in short supply. Minimum wage jobs normally fall outside of the first condition, though it is many business owners' wet dream for that not to be so. I suppose if whatever the minimum wage is at the time, it should be what "entry level" employees of all kinds, doctors, lawyers, police, fire fighters, any job anywhere should be paid. There, I finally made a proposal on par with the vast majority of "ideas" you come up with down there in mommie's basement.
In the mean time, if a business owner doesn't want or can't afford to pay workers he/she just will have to work harder and longer (like you propose the employees should do) to achieve the goal. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If you run a chain of fast food joints like the late of the boards Big Bob of FTW does. you will actually need the Ferrari he used as his avatar to get from store to store in order to do this.
BTW, pvt onestone, only a Stoolwater A&I lover would sweat anything involving a Title IX sport like basketball. Of course, you folks have spent decades trying to cobble together a "winning tradition" from marginal successes in minor, non revenue producing sports such as cross-dressed tiddlywinks, competative plowing and speed milking. Go ahead, break out your aging stock of weak-ass photoshopped pictures, we need a boredom-induced nap.
