    Everyone keeps pushing for higher minimum wage yet keeps complaining about prices of goods & services going up. What do people think is going to happen when you jump the minimum wage by 30%? Anyone been in a fast food place lately? I remember a few years ago I could grab a burger, fries & drink most places for $3 to $3.50 now you are lucky to get that same meal for $7 or $7.50.

    Good economy, low unemployment, higher wages & cost of just about everything and pin shipping is suppose to stay the same as it was 4 or 5 years ago?

    I am an old fart collecting Social Security and selling a few pinball parts for a little extra cash and I hate higher prices as much (or more) than the next guy but times have changed. 10 years ago I was paying about 35 cents a roll for my packing tape and now it is costing me $1.50 for a smaller roll. USPS rates go up every year, peanuts are costing me almost double what they cost 10 years ago, etc. Such is life!
