I'm glad Disney is doing this at WDW and
Disneyland, and hopefully we'll see improvements in the other surrounding area businesses as well.
For the people who talk about
"just get more skills, a higher education, etc." Do you have ANY idea what the current situation is like with colleges and how many Americans are stuck with insane amounts of student loan debt AND can only find lower paying jobs because there isn't enough of jobs in the field they got a degree for? A lot changes in the 4-6 years it takes to get a degree.
Factually, the minimum wage now is lower than it was in the 1960's (accounting for inflation). Income inequality is at an all time high.
Instead of the average American being united against the corporations doing everything for sheer profits for their rich investors, we have a group of people who instead are told to blame it on the little guy, the poor person who makes minimum wage as not doing their fair share to improve themselves and that if they just pick themselves up by their bootstraps they can do better, get a raise (haha), get a better education (with no way to pay for it) and find higher earning jobs, but with NO facts or proof to back up these reactions.
