On the minimum wage increase.

Minimum wage is going up like a dollar where I live.

But, that would only matter at one of my jobs where I work 3 days a week, which is like 7.5 hours by the time you take time out for a break each day, which then comes out to like 22.5 hours a week in all.

And, $22.50 a week means like $90 a month, or $1170 a year (and both of those figures are before taxes!).

It's nothing to sneeze at, but honestly, my gas and electricity bucks have gone up like $30-40 a month in total since my wages have been pretty much flat, so if my rent goes up any, that raise will be completely wiped out.

Isn't that sad?

And to think of how much I work.
