So many good jobs. I’m sure they never considered denying the deal. I mean: it’s not rocket science.

Wait, $36 an hour jobs? I guess the $15 an hour burger flippers will boycott McDonald’s to fight for $36/hour. /s

The Nazis worked cheaper than that before the US decided they didn’t need them any more and started yelling “war criminal”. That pretty much ended success in the US manned space program.

...that would create full-time jobs with hourly wages averaging at least $36.Is it an average wage of $36 an hour, or a minimum of $36 an hour? Can't be both. Even GOOD news has to be reported carefully!

That was a rhetorical question. The headline did not match the content, as do frequently happens in online articles.
