What if there aren't better offers?
> As for minimum wage, it is hurting the unskilled workers, like high school students, college students who are looking for experience.
The article shows that there isn't conclusive evidence pointing to employment destruction with minimum wage increases.
> If you think you worth more, then proof it, don't blame the system.
If the market can get away with paying less than your worth, it will. That's precisely the point of my argument: companies have more power than workers to negotiate wages.
> When I was in high school, I was working in an unpaid internship to get some experiences. I don't know if there is any unpaid internship now or if it is even legal now.
Don't you see how unpaid internships can be harmful? If you need experience to have a nice job and unpaid internships are a requirement, it means a "forced" period where you are working without income. People without savings won't be able to take those internships and have those better jobs, further locking them in poverty.

They expect the poor to die when they can't afford shelter, food, or water. Or unless someone else besides them has mercy or compassion.
