Remind me again how corporations have our best interests at heart
Ah yes, the notoriously most expensive of all the vegetables: the potato.
Duuuuude I haven’t been to McDonald’s in forever but fuck me sideways with a lunch box $3.50 for a hash brown!!! You could go to McDonald’s with $10 and come home with… Two hashbrowns lol wth is going on.
It gets worse if you can prove that the size has also decreased over time.
I’d be totally down to peg the minimum wage to hashbrowns.
$7.25 / 0.79 ~ 9.18 hash browns per hour.
$3.49 per hash brown ~ minimum wage of $32.07.
Makes you wonder about all the jobs paying less that and how much wages have been stolen.
“If we raise the minimum wage, then prices will go up”
raises prices anyway
So a 8 hour work day at minimum wage is 16 hashbrowns x 140 kcal = 2240 kcal.
This is barely enough kcal to feed one person for a day.
So by working minimum wage 7 days a week you don’t even have enough money to feed yourself with hashbrowns.
I don’t think hashbrowns have the best dollar/calorie ratio. That said, we still need a higher minimum wage, and not just for the visionaries who want to live off hashbrowns
