You aren’t mad that someone might get paid 15$ an hour flipping patties or organizing shelves.

You’re mad because you’re realizing you’re also underpaid.

Average cost of living is 40k+ in the U.S. Minimum wage should be higher in all honesty.

Wages haven’t risen with the cost of living in decades. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at the legislators who have created an economy that only benefits the rich.

Fun fact, if minimum wage had kept pace with workers productivity growth since 1968, the minimum wage would be around 24$+.

But why isn’t it? Well, legislators let it stagnate, instead focusing on protecting those at the top of the financial food chain.
