Steve';s barking minimum wage is not all the same

There's been talk that the minimum wage should go up to $15 a hour.
That may be outstanding in Biloxi Miss. and very good in Youngstown Ohio but what about high maintenance Cities like New York, Boston, and San Francisco.
15 dollars an hour times 40 hrs a week equals 600 dollars a week. times 4.33 weeks equals 2598 dollars a month minus 8.7 percent for FICA equals 2372 dollars a month with the rent being so damn high one has to get married to some one else making at lest minimum wage to afford to live in a semi decent place. Lets not forget transportation, hopefully the worker(s) live with in walking distance. Haven forbid if the full time job like mine was only 36 hours and the 4 to make it 40 is overtime comp time.

Now I'm going to look at this in a business manner, in high maintenance (and even in low maintenance) cities if you believe that workers are an intricate part of the business the business owner would want to make sure that the worker has a decent place to live, family is well taken care of and there is enough food on the table.
Now why would i be making this outrages statement after all the only reason that a(for profit) business exists is to make money. Why should the owner care? Because the worker is the face of the business and if you take studies of school children who come from unhappy homes and or go to school hungry they do poorly, one would think the same holds true for adults. The product that they put out would not be up to snuff.
customer satisfaction would suffer, and the business will suffer. At the same time one doesn't want to see profit margins diminish too much.

We have a paradox of business.
