US Federal minimum wage needed to be 25 dollars last year, and there should be a law in place to automatically adjust fed min wage annually based on inflation.

$25 dollars per hour is just slightly over 50k annual before taxes here in 2022. After Taxes it's 44,000 After Insurance it's 38,000 After Rent/Mortgage it's closer to 20,000 That's 54 dollars per day left over for 3 meals, utilities for a dwelling, a car, gas, parking, car insurance, car maintenance, copays, overdraft fees, late fees, you're not rich enough fees. Not to mention netflix, date night, beers with the boys, vacations, CELL PHONE, 3 other streaming services, maybe a dessert/soda/treat once in a while, clothing and shoes, hygiene items, dog food, vet bills. God forbid someone would want to turn on the AC for too long or drink anything but water for these 365 days we have each year to divide and decide how to use our income best so that we can maintain basic human necessities.
