    Meanwhile Idaho right next door is still at the federal $7.25 minimum wage. How Idaho border town min wage jobs stay staffed I have no idea.

      Probably employs the same people Donald Trump is calling animals and wants kicked out of the country, or worse. And when they succeed those towns are going to crumble.

      When wages go up, so does rent.

      You’re not actually make more money. Your landlords are.

      They just can’t see the bigger picture, lol.
