Ok but seriously, why the fuck did you have an *entire meeting* about raising the minimum wage?

I mean, what did y'all think was going to come out of it in a *Bernie Sanders led meeting*? 

"I agree, let's raise it" 

"Nooo we should raise it faster" 

"Noooo I never said we shouldn't raise it faster" 

"My pp hard" 

"My pp not hard I am old and need viagra" 

"Did we include that in our living wage calculations?"

Alright good questions, see a lot of confusion, but that's what this is all about. So lets just tackle each one of these point by point.

&gt; why the fuck did you have an entire meeting about raising the minimum wage?

Because when considering raising the minimum wage it is helpful (I would say essential) to have a plan for and models showing exactly what that choice is going to do, who exactly is paying for it, how they are paying for it, and where they are getting that money from.

Due diligence is another term for it.

&gt;what did y'all think was going to come out of it in a Bernie Sanders led meeting

Sen. Sanders did not lead the meeting I am talking about. I just covered a few points of the sort of things being talked about.

&gt;"I agree, let's raise it"

&gt;"Nooo we should raise it faster"

&gt;"Noooo I never said we shouldn't raise it faster"

&gt;"My pp hard"

&gt;"My pp not hard I am old and need viagra"

&gt;"Did we include that in our living wage calculations?

A... colorful strawman that reveals more about yourself than you were intending to share I have to imagine. I am sorry to hear about your health problems, however when considering raising the minimum wage it is genuinely a complicated enough subject to where you might want to consider talking to as many people as you can about how best to do so. 

For example; I bet you didn't know that in 1970 the minimum wage was $1.20. If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation, **not purchasing power**, but just the real whole dollar value the CBO estimates $1.20 in 1970 to be about $22-23 in today's terms. **BUT** that doesn't even begin to take into account the cost of living for most items. Did you know that when the minimum wage was first introduced the largest household expense was food? Today it's rent. 

There is a myriad of nuance to this subject, which I hope you now have a better appreciation for. Thank you for your very genuine questions on the subject, always happy to help.
