You’re basically right, but thinking of it backwards. The law is supposed to control the employer, not the employee.
If you employ students, and they work more than 20hrs/wk, you must pay them min wage, if they’re under 20hrs/wk, you can pay them 85% of min wage.

In the study, Dr. David Macpherson, an economist at Florida State University determined that the minimum wage increase would cost employers over $262.7 million. In addition, the increase would cost $86.7 million in lost income for the 10,000 employees who will loose their jobs when their employers can no longer afford their wages.
The study found that the average family income of minimum wage employees in Pennsylvania is just over $49,000 and that 80% of the benefits of the wage hike will go to families that aren’t poor.

Speaking of Pelosi and this bill. Looks like the stupid wench is trying to pull a fast one by exempting businesses in her district from the minimum wage bill.And dems have been screaming about she’s there savior. Typical.

Raising the minimum wage was bullshit.
Just because I didn’t get a raise when it went up, though.

what point did he make???
he rambled on and on about he and the working poor want to make $15/hour while doing $5/hour work. Fuck lazy people. If you make minimum wage and are out of school, either you are trying to be a fuckup or you need to go back to school. Minimum wage shouldn’t be enough to buy a $150k house and a new suv every two years, it should be so high school kids can make a little money and learn how to be productive in a work environment so that when they get out of school, they can make something out of themselves.
