Antiwork

Minimum wage for hospitality in 2022 is only 12c higher than wages given to children employed during the Industrial Revolution.

Children employed in 1760 worked 11 hour days at roughly 0.60c a day. Adjusted for inflation, that's $22.20 a day, or $2.01 an hour. Now I could be wrong, as I'm not American, but don't your restaurant staff only get paid like $2.13 as a base pay? This is tragic.
