Am all in favor of higher wages across the board. One's dollar just doesn't buy what it did even ten years ago let alone twenty. Wages just have not kept pace with cost of living. But one thing I never see addressed and I wish someone would explain it to me is how this affects places like Tucson. If you have a city where a not insignificant portion of the population is disabled or low income elderly or otherwise dependent on things like social security/SSDI/government aid, how do wage increases help them? It seems like it hurts them more than anything because now they're getting priced out by increasing costs for rents and goods/services that have gotten higher as a result of the companies paying more. But the cost of living increase for aid recipients is much smaller in comparison to the increased wage that workers have won. I think it's like 50 bucks a month next year for SSDI because of inflation and the pandemic and that's like the highest increase in years. I feel like we should be looking out for this part of the community better too somehow, especially if they also make up a significant part of the consumer base of a smaller to mid sized place like Tucson. You can't just force all non wage-earners out into the country or whatever because they can no longer afford the cities. People will run out of places to go.
