Jesus Christ y’all are insufferable. If you have a job that doesn’t require at the very least a cert or BA/BS then you are not a skilled worker. I don’t give a fukk how hard you think your job is.
20 hours a week * 15 dollars = 300
35 * 7.25 = 253.7
That’s still a huge come up for the workers
He said that like it's a drawback to have more free time outside of work. This country is in big trouble.

Geeezzz I’d hate for us to be right about this shyt. Is this the real reason we are just happy to go along with it? Because the rich give us scraps to help us mimic their power and keep us complacent. We don’t want true freedom or autonomy. We just want to feel better than somebody else?!

Artificially placing a higher value on scraps is far easier than tearing everything down and rebuilding. Cowardice is a huge factor here, cowardice + ego is how we find people defending things that are indefensible so it's easier for them to sleep at night and feel like they have some level of control in the matter.
I liken it to a scene in a movie I saw one time where a character called Smokey claimed he had mind control over a character called Debo. (Spoiler alert: he didn't)
This was an interesting doc I seen yesterday

Yeah, I don't believe this at all. Back in the day my moms was making $4/hr at Wendy's
Lmao you’ve never worked a lot of office/desk/corporate jobs. The higher up the ladder you go, the less “work” you actually do while your paychecks steadily increase. You learn that shyt rolls downhill, and a lot of the actual work is delegated down the chain.

No it wasn't. Minimum wage was created give workers a liveable wage. Here's a quote from FDR, the president who instituted the minimum wage:
"No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.”
“By ‘business’ I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level — I mean the wages of decent living.”

Problem is a "living wage" isn't a real thing. Government artificially setting the price of labor causes many problems for the very people they are trying to help, which is why FDRs programs were looked at negatively by people who didn't like the expansion of government power.
MW is just an arbitrary number that doesn't account for market forces, so while a few benefit, the vast majority get fukked over and locked out of jobs. It doesn't solve "the wage gap" because it doesn't boost someone's ability to increase their marketability. Even the idea of the wage gap itself is misunderstood and lots of nonsense gets thrown around about it.
