There is no USA anymore... Currently, there is only the SOA (States of America, no longer united), the SOTNY (Socialist Oligarchy of the Territory of New York), the SOTC (Socialist Oligarchy of the Territory of California), and the SODC (Socialist Oligarchy of the District of Columbia).
The Party of the Jackass is the Party that is directly causing the assault of which you speak.
Also, the whole "essential worker" bit is complete nonsense. EVERY worker is essential.

Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
This is on my Lispy Leftist list (see my sig) as "living wage". Define "livable wage". It is a subjective term that means a different thing to each individual. One person might consider $30,000/yr to be "livable" (as they'd wish to live), while another might not even consider $150,000/yr to be "livable" (as they'd wish to live).
No, it's called one of two things:
[1] a lazy fuck who wishes to mooch off of the government (who mooches off of those who DO apply themselves) rather than actually applying themselves (via gaining education, experience, skills, etc...)
[2] a person who wants to apply themselves (and did apply themselves), but the government won't allow them to earn a living, so the government then pretends to give a fuck about the person's financial well-being that they forcefully removed from them via "relief checks", and eventually via "universal basic income" checks, and eventually one will only receive those UBI checks (or the full amount of those checks) IF one does as the government says (social credit score?)

Where are these numbers coming from?
Would it? Operating under my made-up number of $12/hour, if mandated up to $15/hour, that would cost a company an additional $6,240 per year per employee on their labor expense alone.
You are also assuming that the company would still be able to sell the same amount of drinks at the increased rate (which would need to be at least 24,960 drinks per year per employee in order for a $0.25 per drink price increase to offset the increased labor expense).
If the company cannot feasibly do this in order to keep the employees employed full time, then they'll be looking towards other options to stay afloat, such as cutting those employee positions into part time positions, eliminating those positions entirely, or even replacing those positions with automation. --- This leads to a shortage of jobs, as any price control does, and leads to people making less money, or (more likely) no money at all, compared to what they did before. Any job that is not worth at least $15/hour to a company will no longer exist, plain and simple. There are already plenty of potential jobs that a $7.25/hour minimum wage makes unavailable. You now want anything worth less than $15/hour to be made unavailable?!
Just because it isn't a "livable wage" FOR YOU doesn't mean that it isn't a "livable wage" for SOMEBODY ELSE. It is entirely possible to survive on $15/hr, and even on less than that.
No, it will actually make even MORE people dependent upon government assistance (after they lose their jobs), which is why the Dems love this policy so much.
No, conservatives should be vehemently OPPOSED to such a job killing policy.
