    Hmm, well at 2000 cals a day, you need about 14 hasbrowns, so seven hours of labor. Sounds like you are being overpaid!!

    Federal minimum wage is almost exclusively for red state populations that hate their working poor. All blue states besides one (that I can see) have state minimum wage set significantly higher that the lower federal minimum wage so the federal minimum wage doesn’t apply it those blue states.

      Well clearly the ones without a draconian minimum wage would have a better economy? Right?
