MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico City's mayor has proposed increasing the country's roughly $5 per-day minimum wage to $6 a day.
Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera suggested Thursday that the city raise the 67.29 peso minimum wage to 82.86 pesos per day. That's about the price of a hamburger meal at a chain restaurant in Mexico.
Mancera says low wages are "at the heart of all of the country's economic and social problems."

Someone will do the math.
I think college education should be free, but only to those who can hold a decent grade average. I think technical school education should be free too, but only to those who can hold a decent grade average. I think that food and shelter for kids doing these studies should be free too, but not caviar and elegance. Decent food and a clean room.
And if you can't do that then how to survive and maintain yourself independently school should be offered, but not to anyone addicted to drugs.
But Hey...I doubt if anyone would vote for THAT. We waste so much government money on loser students who don't even go to school.
And the rich folks can send their kids to the way too expensive schools and pay for their sororities and fraternities and fancy cars. I know which group I would bet on to succeed.
