Adjusting for inflation, the 2023 $7.25 is not even the same as 2012, it’s far less: 5.47. If things cost more but you don’t get more at the same rate, you’re not even getting the same, you’re losing.
Adjusting for inflation the minimum wage should be closer to 10 just to stay put, not to mention shouldn’t it be growing?
Trickle down is the biggest scam.
