20% blog post

Over the past few months my 20% project has been kind of difficult because its such a big topic and its hard to cover what I wanted to cover in the few months. I wanted to try to help the staph infection rate in contact sports. Some disease that go through the contact sports are staph, ringworm, athletes foot, and any other type of  fungal diseases. The one product that stands out the most is Defense Soap. The wrestling world is switching to this product as more diseases are coming up. The 20% job is moving slower but im getting there and almost there. I am on my way to show coaches and programs what this soap can do and what it could save.

Raising min. Wages

I think we should raise minimum wages in the states for the better of families that are making less than 10 dollars a hour. NELP (national employment law project) said that people between 25-34 are affected by 24.1%, just because they are living on minimum wage. the NELP said that
"Raising the minimum wage is a key strategy for boosting consumer spending, and one of the only ways to do so that doesn’t worsen state or federal budget deficits. The scale of this spending can be significant. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, every $1.00 in wage increase for a minimum wage worker results in $3,500 in new consumer spending by his or her household over the following year." Los angles times said that "a family with three said they will fall under the poverty line if they are paid minimum wage." Main street stated "that there was still 11 states under 10 dollars a hour, which in a 3 year effect family's will fall under poverty line."

Arizona - $7.80

Colorado - $7.78

Florida - $7.79

Missouri - $7.35

Montana - $7.80

Ohio - $7.85

Oregon - $8.95

Rhode Island - $7.75

Vermont - $8.60

Washington - $9.19

New York passed an increase to $9 an hour, which goes into effect over 3 years

These states are some of the most populated state with the lowest minimum wages. There for I think we should help these states to raise minimum wages to help family's pass the poverty line.

Explaining post

Stocks are what you can buy to make money off of the product. Sometimes it doesn't always wok out and you can loose money quickly off of the product to. A dividend is were the company can pay the "borrowers" or the holders of a product to keep it safe for them and advertise it for them. Trades are something were you can trade it for money or you can trade it for another product. You can also sell the trade and still make money off of the product. Like if you sold a new candy bar to a company, for every candy bar sold you would still get money even though it is the others company. Usually this would last for two years until the agreement is made. However I don't know what a catalyst is out of the four words.

lemonade game

 In lemonade stand game the weather would change every day and so would the prices. When I made over 20 dollars for 25 cups it was 87 cents, for 10 lemons it was 72 cents, for 8 cups it was 69 cents, and for 100 ice cups it was 76 cent. the temperature was at 78 degrees. I put 5 lemons, 5cups of sugar, and 4 ice in the pitcher. it was 20 cents for each cup and at a ten day period I made 21.47 cents. after playing this game I came to find out that I would make a horrible salesman for lemonade. I would not want to own a lemonade stand.
