  Only five states have minimum wage above 15. Only 8 total are at 15 or higher. According to this: wagebystate.com/minimum-wage/

    And most major metro areas have their own minimum wage separate from the state.

      Jesus, just stop typing.

      You’re been wrong at every turn because you’re the shining example those weekend of a three dunning-kruger effect. So confidently incorrect even with literal research at your fingertips that you refuse to use.

      It’s embarrassing.

        Listen, I don’t give a fuck about what the rural hicks make. Where most people live, in cities, the minimum wage is significantly higher.

        Further, virtually nobody makes minimum wage anyway. Fewer than 1%.

      Nope. currently, 67 counties and cities do: …berkeley.edu/inventory-of-us-city-and-county-min…

      And half the population lives in what are considered “rural” areas.

  You couldn’t be more wrong. I make less than I made 25 years ago, and I’m not even close to minimum. Jobs around me mostly hire at $11-12. Maybe $16 if you’re a welder or something.

    Lmao fucking what. McDonald’s starts at $18.

      McDonalds isn’t the minimum.
      McDonalds starts higher than the minimum, because even they know the minimum is too low.

        McDonald’s is literally right at the bottom. “Doesn’t even compete with fast food” is a bar in hell.
