You’re been wrong at every turn because you’re the shining example the embodiment of the dunning-kruger effect. So confidently incorrect even with literal research at your fingertips that you refuse to use.
You couldn’t be more wrong. I make less than I made 25 years ago, and I’m not even close to minimum. Jobs around me mostly hire at $11-12. Maybe $16 if you’re a welder or something.
Minimum wage isn’t $15 an hour.
Minimum Wage isn’t even livable!
Uses DOUBLE the minimum wage and it STILL isn’t livable
Rent isn’t $1200/mo either.
All of these numbers are years out of date
When I graduated college in 2004 I rented a 1 bedroom shit box for $1200. I can’t imagine how bad it is for renters today. Also, fuck “land lords.”
It is in some parts of the country, to be fair. But the minority for sure.
It’s higher than $15 in most places
Literally five seconds to find. Now count how many places are over 15.
god look at florida. NU UHHH $15 minimim wage is socialism… we’re gonna set it to $14
Only five states have minimum wage above 15. Only 8 total are at 15 or higher. According to this: https://wagebystate.com/minimum-wage/
And most major metro areas have their own minimum wage separate from the state.
Jesus, just stop typing.

It’s embarrassing.
Listen, I don’t give a fuck about what the rural hicks make. Where most people live, in cities, the minimum wage is significantly higher.
Further, virtually nobody makes minimum wage anyway. Fewer than 1%.
You attempted to move the goalposts twice in a single comment, impressive.

Nope. currently, 67 counties and cities do: https://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/inventory-of-us-city-and-county-minimum-wage-ordinances/
And half the population lives in what are considered “rural” areas.
Edit: I guess that last part isn’t true anymore. Only 20%.
How many?
Which ones?

Lmao fucking what. McDonald’s starts at $18.
McDonalds isn’t the minimum.
McDonalds starts higher than the minimum, because even they know the minimum is too low.
McDonald’s is literally right at the bottom. “Doesn’t even compete with fast food” is a bar in hell.
It is indeed
And the minimum is still even lower than that
Sorry I was actually wrong.
McDonald’s starts at $19.29. Because that’s the minimum wage where I am.
$19.29 is in Denver, CO
McDonald’s in Denver pays $20.08
Just gonna leave this here. Federal Minimum Wage
