    People who work minimum wage jobs are lazy now? You’re the type of person who demands to speak to the manager when your burger takes longer than 30 seconds to arrive at the drive-through window, aren’t you?

        Correct, they make around $1 above minimum—~$8.45 on average—which is around $2 above poverty wage…

        Even $15/h isn’t enough to survive in a non-rotting apartment, unless you walk to work, don’t eat any healthy nutritious foods, and give up on any and all hobbies/interests.

          $15/hr is $30k/year, and an enormous amount of people live on that. Median income in my state is 31k/year.

          Not everywhere is LA.
