News Post Cycle 9

I have previously heard of minimun wage protests in the past but i had no idea it was on this big of a scale. Protesters, many wokring in the fat food industry, are demanding minimun wage to be lifted to 15 and hour which just seems ridiculous to me. The only state so far to sign on the $15 minimun wage in New York where the minimun wage was previously $9. Some other states, 2 being Arizona and Maine have lifted the minimum wage to $12 an hour which seems much more logical than $15. The previous wage in Maine was 7.50 while Arizona was $8. So a raise to $12 is still a pretty big deal. It will be very interesting if these changes come to Alabama as the wage here is 7.25 and 12 would be a big change while 15 would be monumental.
