This is so chicken shit. Minimum wage is supposed to be the minimum liveable wage, no matter if you think the job warrants it. And so what if a 50 year old wants the highlight of their working career to be slinging coffee? Let people live and be happy. We can literally do that
Why is it so impossible to say “Some jobs are for teenagers and college students and you’re supposed to stop doing them when your lifestyle demands a higher income”?
@brandedtreasurs The minimum wage was supposed to ensure working people could have enough to afford housing, food, and utilities.
Job vs career has fuck all to do with that - I believe you're lost.
@HowlingPooper Yep. Wanting people that are working to have a liveable wage so they aren't reliant on the government means I'm a welfare queen. You nailed me, genius
@brandedtreasurs It was enacted for the purpose of ensuring working people could afford housing, food, and utilities. It was never intended to be a kid's wage. Look it up.
@TheKarlKolchak Yes, it literally is. When it was enacted the whole purpose was to ensure people were making enough for food, housing, and utilities. It was never intended to a wage for kids or to keep people in poverty.
@WallStreetApes Not a food influencer. Not required to wear anything - she chose it. She's removed the hijab several times when they've "broken up." The padlocking of snacks was a joke, you loon. The owner of the rental locked that. She's not been abused by him. She does only what she wants
The minimum wage is meant to be the minimum wage you need to live on and afford housing, btw. So everyone trying to say “it’s not meant to.. yes it is. That’s why it’s called THE MINIMUM WAGE
Unironically, this actually explains why the economy is in shambles right now.
They've been paying executives astronomical rates while paying workers starvation wages, leading to no one being able to afford anything.
Then they manipulate us, saying higher wages cause inflation.
