The next time you talk to her, tell her she is cruel and doesn’t care about the little people. Tell her that you have been convinced that we should raise the min wage, but that you want it to be one that is worthwhile.
Tell her you want to raise it to $480.77 an hour. That way, everyone that works 40 hours a week, for 52 straight weeks, will have earned $1 Million.
When she starts buying into the premise, just end the conversation by saying, “never mind that a happy meal would cost $50, at least everyone would be able to afford it.”
Then you will seen complete confusion come across her face...
She is already confused.
I actually thought about telling her that it isn’t fair that she makes more than a fast food worker. After all, all she does is sit at a desk and type; they have to do manual labor and deal with angry customers.
So what if everyone just made the same hourly wage? Everyone should get, say $25 an hour regardless of the job they did. That’s it. Wouldn’t that be fair?
