    Uh huh.

    So stop working those jobs.

    You’re literally agreeing to work for $2.13 an hour. Would you do that at any other job? Fuck no!

    Anything else you get is just kindness.

      I mean, I don’t. I know people who have had to work terrible jobs serving food because there are work requirements to their medicaid benefits and such.

      It’d be great if exploitative jobs were eliminated. But the legal minimum is generally what the market pressures businesses to run with.
