If the minimum wage had kept pace with inflation and increases in productivity, then a worker would be making 25 dollars an hour. That means if you grew up thirty, forty, fifty years ago, you were making twenty five dollars an hour to flip burgers. You didn’t have it harder.

They are standing on our faces and complaining that the floor is lumpy.
