San Francisco Raises Minimum Wage to $15.00
SHOW ME THE MONEY
– via CNN –
San Francisco on Tuesday became the second U.S. city to raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour.
Voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure to gradually raise the city’s minimum wage from $10.74 currently. It passed with 77% of the vote, according to initial results reported by local authorities.
The decision follows Seattle’s approval in June to raise its minimum wage to $15, the highest level in the nation.
Under the new law, wages will rise to $11.05 on Jan.1, then $12.25 in May before increasing every year until they reach $15 in 2018. After that, increases will be tied to inflation in the Bay Area.
San Francisco Mayor Edwin Lee applauded the result and said voters “sent a message loudly and clearly” that “we can take on the growing gap between rich and poor.”
The move by San Francisco is part of a growing push in cities and states across the nation to give workers a so-called living wage.

Jeter’s Way
As a tribute to the Yankee Captain Derek Jeter, Gatorade releases the Jeter My Way Commercial. Some find the commercial to go against what Derek Stood for during his career: “The Yankees” and not just “Jeter”. As a Mets fan and baseball fan… I actually loved it.
The commercial follows Jeter on his way to Yankee Stadium before a game. It shows the love that the city and fans of the Yankees have for the Captain.

(video) John Oliver Explains the Student Debt Crisis & For Profit College Issue
For Profit Schools Stealing Your Money
Last year we touched on the fact Some For Profit Colleges are built on the fact that they’re literally robbing you.
It’s 100% illegal to take in a government student loan and be paid out for it. The fact that certain for profit schools
of which we will not name for legal ramifications are still doing it is bothersome.
How you might ask?
Let’s say you speak with an “academic admissions” specialist with one of the for profit schools. Chances are, he or she is fresh out of college themselves. The For Profit College preys on their innocence and teaches them that what they’re doing is ethical and moral.
But here’s the skinny on it.
After being “accepted” to your program, your loan company cuts a check to the school.
That school in turn will pay out the admissions person IN the form of a CASH BONUS for recruiting you.
What’s even worse is most people who truly are trying to better themselves are getting what’s considered a second rate education at nearly 5 times the cost of a community college or double that of an accredited university. Check out John Oliver’s take on student debt and For Profit Colleges
