Will minimum wage ever be a "living" wage?

Wow, I guess you'll be receiving minimum wage for a long time. The current minimum wage has been stagnant for too long. It has not kept up with the cost of living.

It is not just the wages of the fast food industry, but most retail and personal services.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
