Then never in your life go to a fast food joint at 10 am on a Tuesday.
In terms of pure dollar amount, it should by adjusted by PPP. It should be a wage to live off of. I'm in engineering, a few years into my career, I am well paid but I should be paid more, relative to CoL. I should be doing very well even if I have a family not doing well because I don't have one.
That's the thing people always miss. It's not that the fast food workers getting $20 is high, it's that every profession should be getting paid more. Wages across the board are stagnant.
...unless you're a CEO. Wages, especially minimum, have been stagnant to declining for decades, meanwhile CEO and c-level pay is up like 900x. Whatever this raise costs in aggregate, I will nearly guarantee you can probably look to increase in compensation package for like 10 people in CA at most who are getting the same amount next year.
Yes, I should have more clear. I was speaking specifically about the workers, not executives.
oh yeah, that's not a clapback, just furthering your point that if you think the problem is the guy who still probably can barely pay their rent, you're woefully ignorant.
Oh yes, very much agreed. It's infuriating.
