the government is saying, for right or wrong, that businesses can not exploit people for cheap labor

You think a 10th grader bagging groceries at Winn Dixie is worth $15/hr?

The problem is that the government acts like there are tons of adults out there struggling to support a family on their minimum wage job, when in reality it's mostly young people just starting out in life.

In the case of a single mom with two kids making minimum wage, she's also getting snap, subsidized housing, free healthcare etc.

bullshite
The government is saying that they want to kill small businesses (who Biden says employ half of the American workforce) for fortune 500s who can absorb the expenses and net gain with loss of competition.

The government is saying that blackmarket labor (for illegals most often) is more important than the american workers.

The government is saying that welfare and government dependence for the negatively effected employees is better for the big government policies chaining people since the 70s

Edit to add: wanting a job for $8/hr is not exploitation. My first job was $3/hr. 2nd job was $2.12/hr. My January 15th paystub has my hourly at $7.74. Am I exploited?
