20 % Week 3

We have been building a blueprints for the underground safe house. We have also been thinking of the best materials that would cost less, but would last a long time as well. We have been having a bit of trouble getting to talk with a construction manager/worker. Over the next month or so we plan to build a 3-D diagram of our plan and fit it into a budget.

20% week 1

We have created a list of questions to ask a construction manager for building underground. 

1.) What would be the average cost of materials?

2.) What would be the best materials?

3.) How far can you dig into the ground?

4.) What would be the best type of soil to dig?

Raising minimum wage

I am against raising minimum wage. There are pros and and cons, but I believe the cons of raising minimum wage 

out weigh the pros. It will become more difficult for the low skilled workers to find jobs as the amount of jobs 

decrease, because of the higher wages they can't afford all of the employees. The smaller businesses have to be 

able to accomplish the tasks with fewer people. Then they have to pay for stock that costs even more because the

of demand is higher. The cost of ordinary living supplies will rise for the customers. A full-time minimum wage 

worker earns about 15,080 dollars a year putting a three person family over 4,000 dollars in debt. 73.9 million 

workers above the age of 16 were hired and paid hourly. Among them 1.7 million made minimum wage and 2.2 

million made below the minimum wage according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. There are still many people

that don't earn minimum wage now, how are they supposed to earn a living when the minimum wage is raised 

even higher as the prices of everything else goes up. For the small amount of people in poverty being helped they

are being replaced the people who can't afford a home because they don't have a good paying job or even a job. 

I am against raising minimum wage because I believe that the cons out weight the pros.
