I’m gonna bow out of this one…I like these dudes personally but we’re on 2 different planets with this topic.
Universes.
And it's really not that hard. My first job, I made minimum wage. I made about $70 a week. But I could take a $20, put five gallons of gas in my car, take a date to the movies, spring for appetizers and a meal at Red Lobster and get a blowjob on the way home. And I'd STILL have money in my pocket.
My goal in that day was to work my way up to making $30,000 a year. That was the big-time.
People today have WAAAY more opportunities than I did. I had to work two or three jobs and pay for my own college. I had to put in my time at some jobs I hated just to get experience so I could work my way to a higher level.
Minimum wage jobs are NOT living wage jobs. If you're in your 30s, have several kids to support and expect to make a "living wage" working 25 hours a week running the fryers at Burger King? That's a problem.
If you honestly expect minimum wage to be "living wage"? YOU'RE a problem. A big one.
If you truly think paying Chucky who scrambles eggs at Waffle House $20, $25, $30, $50, $100 an hour is going to change his circumstances or improve the economy? You need to put down the bong.
Life's not fair. It's not supposed to be. The idea that Maria from McDonald's should be on equal economic footing with somebody who has worked their way up to a more educated, more talented, more demanding position is absolute freaking lunacy. THIS is how America ends.
