    I think you really nailed something there… We don’t really have a minimum wage, we have a minimal wage.

    A proper minimum wage should be pegged to the cost of living - it’s the minimum required to live. Instead, what we’ve got is companies paying the absolute least that they’re required to, and lobbying to keep that number as low as possible regardless of the cost of living.
