Comment on Do both games & consoles cost more in the US when you factor in both sales tax and minimum wage?

In Pennsylvania the sales tax is 6%. A PlayStation 5 disc version off amazon new is $559.99, after tax it would cost $593.59. Minimum wage is $7.25/hour. A person making minimum wage would need to work 81.8 hours to pay for a PS5(disc).

81.8 hours is assuming they are not paying income tax… factoring that in, im sure it is over 100 hours. Someone smarter than me can do the math…
