Minimum wage was never intended to be a liveable wage.


Is $15/hr (~$30k/yr) a living wage now? You can't afford to live on $30k a year, especially if you have a family. Minimum wage is, what, less than $20k/yr?

All those Walmart employees who aren't making shite or are forced into being part-time employees....who do you think pays for those folks? Your tax dollars are going toward healthcare, welfare, food stamps for gainfully employed people, all the while Walmart's shareholders and executives are pocketing more money than we can imagine.

The retard can get another job. Anyone raising a family on min wage is brain dead.

They can go work for one of the literal millions of other companies out there if they're unhappy with their situation.

I'm not saying every executive is a great person, but do y'all with this position ever have the thought that those people work their asses off night and day, are smarter than their counterparts, and bring in value to the company that another person wouldn't?

It's like the shite with Elon Musk and Bezos. They have ridiculous amounts of money. You know why? Because they fundamentally changed how our species operates. Let me know when you do that and you'll be paid accordingly.
