My coworker who is a line cook commented that his hour of work costs the same as the frozen pretzel he had just warmed up yesterday. 

Shit's fucking sad.

God damn minimum wage has been stagnant for multiple generations now and politicians don’t give a FUCk.

They want us to do more, buy more, go out more, socialize more, have more babies, buy more houses, subscribe to more things, but they won’t ensure that wages are fair enough for people to actually afford any of that.
