I don’t think most people really grasp how low the federal minimum wage ($7.25) is. If you get charged $20 for a late fee, that’s almost three times the minimum wage. If you get an overdraft fee of $30, that’s over four hours (half a standard workday) of minimum wage labor.

I don't think many people grasp how few people actually make minimum wage. It's just 1.5%. bls.gov/opub/reports/minimum…

Gas has hit $8 a gallon in parts of California. This is the Biden and Newsom dystopia we are living

Yes ... right now wages are going up ... but there are still too many being paid a miminum wage!

You really think someone should get paid 20 an hour to get my order wrong 50% of the time?????? Minimum wage isn't a lifestyle, it's a step on the ladder to have employment and strive for something better when you've proven the ability to hold a job.

If working full time can't put a decent roof over your head, fill your belly & let you see doctor when you're sick...that means your economic system is a failure. A political system that ignores this is also a failure

Another lens: how many hours does the average fast food worker have to work to purchase the fast food that they’re selling? #notsuchahappymeal

Thought you were libertarian. This is socialism.
