Complain about..

Minimum wage increase -- What the hell? What are people thinking? 12 dollars for Minimum Wage?! I don't get it.   So, okay, we all like money.  but where is this money coming from? So you get 12 dollars a hour, guess what happens to your rent? and your clothes, and your movie tickets? Guess what happens to the cost of living in flagstaff?  Rent is already at 1600 dollars for a 2 bedroom 990 sqft apartment.  BOTH OF my paychecks won't cover rent and utilities.  My Health Insurance that my employer pays 80% for already has gone up 100-150 dollars a month.  How do you expect the community to support a 12 dollar minimum wage? OOOOH, yes, I forgot.. The NAU students.  They will pay for whatever they need because they can add it to a load or have their parent's help them out because they are 'college kids'.   I was looking at an ADDITIONAL job .. as in SECOND FULL TIME job ( I already have a very part-time gig on top of my full time job).  just to cover my insurance, and now it looks like I will most definitely need a second full time job to pay for rent and gas, and utilities.      Who voted for this prop?  They need a hit in the head with an economics book.  Are they seeing a different outcome?... what are they seeing?  ... this is ridiculous.   I thought of trying to get my full time job to open a compressed work shift so that we can also work a second job, because my full time employer has denied cost of living increases, since forever!  I DON"T GET HOW TO LIVE HERE?   What do people do?!?!
