We live in a country where people are arguing if humans should be able to afford to live iff minimum wage. Where’s the meteor 😞.

Minimum wage jobs are for kids. Stop smoking weed, level up your skills, and get a better paying job.

Minimum wage jobs were quite literally created to be the minimum amount a person needs to live. Stop being a billionaire’s idiot puppet.

That is a bastardization of the history of minimum wage, but ok.

President Roosevelt quite literally stated that a business should pay workers enough to live a decent life. I’m not bastardizing minimum wage, you are just a corporations wet dream of a commoner.

Right the initial rate of $0.25 was totally derived by calculating what a worker needed to survive and had nothing to do with politics And Presidents have never misrepresented legislation with an ulterior motive, so you must be right.

.25 an hour could quite literally afford you basic life. A week’s work could let you pay rent. Working for an hour today couldnt even get you a movie ticket. Working a whole week wouldn’t even afford some people’s car insurance today.

Question, who’s supposed to work the minimum wage jobs when kids are at school for 3/4 of the workday

The average rent was $10. A 40 hour working week at .25 is your rent. The rest is food and other basic necessities. At 7.25 today, 40 hours wouldn’t even get you half way to your rent but keep licking the testicles of these rich people with multiple multimillion dollar homes. I’m sure they’ll hand you a dollar for your services one day.

Not a homophobe. Also I don’t have to be a minimum wage worker to want others to be able to afford to live. I care for others unlike you who have these corporation’s hands so far up your butt that they are moving your tongue.
