The common argument for why 16 year olds flipping burgers shouldn't make $15 / hr is that they don't have the same expenses as an adult, so they don't need that much, and it's so fucking wild to me that they'd use that. Clearly what you need doesn't factor into what people are paid in any other circumstance, otherwise the top 0.1% would be middle class, too. So why does it suddenly matter for that one specific demographic?
Dare I say it's totally fucking Marxist and anti-American to suggest that people be paid for their labor based on financial need? This also makes boomers have a meltdown
This is why fast food locations are closed during school hours obviously.
