    Oh right i forgot about that. That’s insane as well; minimum wage should be… well, minimum, obviously; for everyone.

      Sad thing is regular minimum is only $7.25 at the federal level. This country absolutely despises it’s workers.

        That’s the true problem, federal minimum wage hasn’t changed in decades despite the inflation and costs over the years! That’s the true problem!

            Should be changed to, “Nobody wants to work anymore because the wage isn’t livable anymore”.

            I was hired on my first job at $14/hr as a retail associate back in like 2005! Same job today has the same wage… well $15/hr but still 20 years later… savage! Hmmmm, wondering why no one wants to work, that job can’t even pay the rent of most places in America with all the other costs of living. (Car, insurance, phone, utilities, etc.).

            Okay, this image would be better if it actually showed whatever article it came from, so we could verify the print and date. These could all be books printed in 2016 for all we know. But like I totally believe it.

            Edit: I have the grammar of a 3rd grader
