A rant about minimum wage.

Just need to rant a little about the job economy of where I’m working, so for starters lemme just state that I live in the United States in the state of Mississippi where we don’t have a state minimum wage, stores can basically pay you whatever tf they want, I work two jobs, part time retail work at a dollar general (think Walgreens but far shittier) and full time dairy farmer, I get 40 minutes of sleep a day on a normal day, I work my ass off and somehow I’m still broke, at the dollar general I make 8.25$ an hour at the dollar general and they constantly cut my hours to where at this point I’m never getting a day off from work there but never getting paid overtime either (working exactly 35.5 hours a week so they don’t have to pay me overtime) and 70$ a day…

Minimum wage needs to be 25$ federal MINIMUM.
