I thought this was all first day stuff?

My concern is that the value of human labor is plummeting.

I used to think “ how and why are people in restaurants working for 4 dollars an hour?” Only now I ask “why are we all accepting the same wage amounts as we did in the 90s?”

You’re right, I looked it up.

If minimum wage was the same as it was in 1970, adjusted for inflation, it would be over $25/hour.

That’s over $50k a year working full time.
