Something I’ve noticed regarding when morons come to argue that minimum wage isn’t a living wage…

It’s that all these companies sell these jobs as if they are careers. Someone better tell all these companies that their minimum wage isn’t meant to be a living wage. Ever go to one of these shitty companies? They hand out brochures “welcome to your new career!” They treat these jobs as careers. Are people expected to know they are lying? The pictures in the brochures are of actors wearing uniforms but they are always smiling like they aren’t choking from bills. Maybe if these companies were forthright with workers from the get go. “Hey we probably only need you part time, and your wage won’t be enough to live off of.” Would be honest but they can’t say THAT can they? So they gotta lie. It’s so funny they expect an employee to be forthright with them and do a good job right off the bat – even though…
