  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%.

        You attempted to move the goalposts twice in a single comment, impressive.

        Actually, the financial system that oppresses people is totally great, and it’s not even that oppressive anyway! Only a few thousand people die from it every year, and that’s completely acceptable from my perspective because I’m not in that situation.

        Are you proud of your arguments here? Do they make you feel like a valuable person? Does this genre of viewpoint make your friends and family happy to have you around? Just a few questions for you to entertain because you seem content that others are miserable.

    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.
