The former "Dirty Jobs" star spoke to Fox Business about the opportunities that might be lost to workers if the minimum wage is raised.
"I want everybody who works hard and plays fair to prosper," Rowe said.
"I want everybody to be able to support themselves. But if you just pull the money out of midair you're going to create other problems, like there is a ladder of success that people climb and some of those jobs that are out there for seven, eight, nine dollars an hour, in my view, they're simply not intended to be careers," he explained.
'It's absolutely terrorizing': Residents near Brooklyn Center unrest rattled by clashes, tear gas
"For those living in the apartments nearby, that has meant finding bright green marking rounds and gas canisters on their balconies after sleepless nights.

Angela Johnson, who lives across the street from the Brooklyn Center Police Department, watches the chaos from her window Wednesday night.
Gino Fiebelkorn has taken to sleeping during the day, when the crowd outside his apartment is mostly camera crews and reporters. But by evening, he starts prepping for another night "in a war zone."
He tapes up the back door frame of his garden-level apartment on Humboldt Avenue in Brooklyn Center — an attempt to keep out clouds of tear gas that have filled his neighborhood since Sunday night. And then he stations himself at the apartment building's back door, prepared to pull in injured protesters and ward off troublemakers.
"It's absolutely terrorizing," he said as he wiped away welling tears. "I moved across from a police station because I thought it'd be safe."...Read all!
CNNLOL, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreadsconspiracy theories anddisinformation, andopenly encouragesviolence against Trump supporters, would like you to know that fonts are now racist.
This is from an actual piece published at the CNNLOL website (I don’t link fake news):
James O’Keefe of Project Veritas confronted CNN’s Technical Director Charlie Chester about his stated “focus” on pushing “Trump out of office” via a video released Tuesday.
The video shows O’Keefe walking into a diner where Chester was eating breakfast with a Project Veritas informant, who had previously left the table, allowing O’Keefe to slide into a Chester’s booth to confront him about a recently released tape in which Chester was recorded saying, “Look what we did, we got Trump out. I am 100 percent going to say it, and I 100 percent believe that if it wasn’t for CNN, I don’t know that Trump would have got voted out. … I came to CNN because I wanted to be a part of that.”
The CDC has finally said what scientists have been screaming for months: The coronavirus is overwhelmingly spread through the air, not via surfaces
"...a persuasive essay in the medical journal The Lancet by Emanuel Goldman, a microbiology professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School: “Exaggerated Risk of Transmission of COVID-19 by Fomites.”
...Goldman told me that several journals rejected his essay.
But he was not alone in his quest.
Writers such as my colleague Zeynep Tufekci and researchers such as Jose-Luis Jimenez, an aerosol scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder, were also outspoken in their insistence that we needed to focus on ventilation rather than surfaces, windows rather than Windex.
They were rebuffed, not only by loudmouths on Twitter and on TV, but by other scientists who clung stubbornly to an outdated view of viral spread.
Over the weekend, I caught up with Goldman to ask how it felt to be vindicated by the world’s most famous public-health organization.
“On a personal level, I feel great,” he said.
“But I’m kind of wondering what took them so long. There is so much inertia in the scientific establishment.”
...Hygiene theater also muddles the public-health message.
If you tell people, “This disease is on surfaces, on your clothes, on your hands, on your face, and also in the air,” they will react in a scattered and scared way.
But if you tell people the truth—this virus doesn’t do very well on surfaces, so you should focus on ventilation—they can protect themselves against what matters...Read all!

NEW YORK, NY—The College Board has discontinued the SAT, replacing the long-standing college admissions exam with a DNA test that traces your ancestral history and determines how oppressed you are.
The new method of college admissions will just figure out how oppressed or privileged you are and assign you an oppression score based on your racial background.
Those with lots of marginalized ancestors will receive a high score, while those with evil, privileged ancestors will receive a low score.
Prestigious schools such as Ivy League institutions will only consider applicants with an Oppression Score of 1500 or higher.
Asian students start the test off with an automatic 500-point deduction, while white students are asked to leave the testing site immediately...Read all!
