Holy fuck the Gravel Institute is a nostalgia trip. Can’t believe those kids still have a job.

According to my father in law it’s the participation trophies that are to blame.

The federal minimum wage was $1 per hour in 1960, so productivity has increased 23 fold according to the OP.

Shouldn’t this mean we should be able to cut down to two hours of work per week?

Having to work 40+ hours when 2 should be enough does sound like exploitation.

I should only have to get out of bed once for every 23 mornings that I wake up, am I right?

Even just accounting for inflation, the $1.25/h federal minimum wage in 1963 would be about $13/h today.

The minimum wage should grow with inflation according to an annual review. It’s an injustice that there must be this huge battle every time it needs to be increased every few years but only when people get fed up because they can’t afford to live.

Pretty much how it’s handled in Australia, although they sometimes increase it above inflation. Importantly, it’s handled by an independent body and not something that is subject to votes in parliament.

I don’t need no stinkin’ government getting involved in my business trying to… Get me more money. Same as when that Obama tried to save me money on healthcare. Don’t tread on me!

Yeah! I want to live a lifetime of suffering and pain so that no illegals get shelter and no children get food! Disgusting! Republican Jesus woulda shot those immigrants and fed those kids to the lions.

Don’t tell me about no Bible, I haven’t read a book since I was 7 and I ain’t about to start now. Fox News is the one source of truth!

Immigrants are the enemy! Billionaires are friends. Just like it says on the TV channel that the billionaire owns! It has to be true! I’m stupid btw.

Reminder that every dollar possessed by the ultrawealthy is time you wouldn’t have had to spend working and could have instead used that time to enrich your personal life whether it’s alone, with family, or friends.

And to help illustrate your important reminder, a (probably now outdated) visualisation of just how many dollars they actually posses:
