698. Would you work harder for $.15/hr more?

I don't understand the hoopla about Walmart raising the minimum wages. Correct me if I am wrong, but full time minimum wage is 15 CENTS per hours more. WOW. what I could do with another $1.50 per day or $7.50/week, less taxes and SS and Medicare! Guess it would be enough for Christmas presents if I saved all of it. Heck, I might even earn about $1.75 interest for the year if I stick it one of O'Blunder's MyRA Savings plans (sorry, I missed writing about them) -- oops, inflation ate my $1.75 and I really lost $1.75 instead!

I believe the part-timers may get up to $0.45 more per hour. But then, you are talking maybe 20 hours per week and NO health plan. Can I get healthcare for $40/month?

So, why all the hoopla? Life at Walmart just continues on as usual.
