I think profitable companies should pay more than a minimum wage; they should pay a living wage. that being said, it costs a hell of a lot more money to live in san fransisco than it does to live in sandpoint, idaho.
j said the other day that he believes in equity, not equality. and i think that's spot on.
without getting into how each state's minimum wage is determined, or if it's a fair determination or not, i think it would be better if amazon pays not just a minimum $15 across the board, but a few dollars (or percent) above minimum wage to employees in that state. is that still somewhat unfair? sure. but again, it costs more to live in san fransico than it does to live in grass valley, california, so at least it's more fair.
