IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO FIND THEM . MOST SERVERS ONLY GET PAID 2.13 TO 3.00 PER HR . IT'S A VERY HARD JOB TO DO. THEM ARE LOTS OF SERVERS OUT THERE.
At $2.65/Ht...that's Poverty Wages. Someone wrote that the "safety and infrastructue" is the Government's Business. My question: How are such infrastructure issues resolved with No Tax Base in place? Seems that KS wants it's problems addressed without having ANYONE(city, state, nor federal levels), paying for it. Strange...very strange.
Hey, Joe Wichita... You think that someone should work for an hour to buy a gallon of gas or 90 minutes to buy a gallon of milk? You can't really think that a human being should only be paid $2.65 an hour, right?
One has to wonder who is paid this minimum wage. I don't know who could live off of just that income. I think it would be really hard to find someone to interview that gets paid this wage.
City government has no business getting involved in wage issues. They are elected to handle safety and infrastructure needs of our community. Since when do we think they have an expertise on wage and worker issues. This is a group of folks trying to get city government to believe they are smarter than the rest of use, and using their ego's to enact an ordinance.
