It might work out for you personally but it still doesn't address the issue of not making a living wage. If their weekly paycheck isn't any more than it was, they're still coming up short on their monthly expenses.
What do you have against landlords? Every situation has an economic element to it. It shouldn't be assumed that every person who is a boss, landlord or business owner is assumed to be some sort of crook for having money. Maybe the landlord is upside down on his property and takes a loss every month. You just don't know.
Agreed. But that wasn't the end goal for the $15hour movement. The entire effort was touting 'living wage' so making the same take home check isn't helping anyone except for maybe less money spent on day care for their kids.
Axios cherry picked the Bureau of Labor Statistics data for the 12 states that confirm the writer's bias. They should have analyzed all states with low minimum wages vs high minimum wages for the overall picture. Reports are out there showing while many of the minimum wage earners who have not lost jobs from the hourly increase are reporting weekly scheduled hours being cut back across the board.
So you're OK with the government basically running your business. Telling you what you can or can't sell, how much to charge... slippery slope. Why don't you just allow the free market to punish those businesses who choose to do business with whomever they want. I would imagine a all-gay same-sex marriage wedding cake factory would make a fortune.
It's also insulting to compare the people who made a personal decision to sleep with their same sex with people who were kidnapped, enslaved, beaten, violated and oppressed for literally centuries.
In reference to #3: Does Fibery provide the capability for a problem solver to create their own solutions on the platform to provide (resell) to their customers?
Are you OK with the government infringing on the freedoms of a bakery to choose what business they accept thus forcing a baker to make a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding despite that baker's beliefs on the contrary?
Your link made your earlier statement appear disingenuous. One person's beliefs against the concept of same-sex marriage doesn't necessarily mean said person is anti-gay. Those are two different issues really. One represents a social construct (and legal arrangement) and the other involves a personal preference or choice of lifestyle. Many who are against same-sex marriage still believe in the freedoms people should have in choosing their sexual partners.

It makes enough sense to me that open source projects focused on their core objective are not as focused on the publicity aspect of their effort hence no real marketing of the solution is happening
