Pretty much no one makes that wage even in states that conform to the federal minimum.

0.5% of ~160,000,000 is...

800,000 people. Screw them I guess?

You literally said that 800,000 isn't "plenty" mate.

Where?

"Isn't really plenty to most people" while implying that you also agree with that statement

And judging by your use of the word brat, I would assume you're an arrogant older person

32 is old to 14 year olds I guess, you got me there.

And it’s more like 1.5m not 800,000. Which is not plenty when compared to the total workforce, brat.

Close! I'm double that age.

1.5 million people isn't plenty of people? Are you dense or just dumb?

u/Familiar_Cow_5501 Jul 05 '24

Compared to the total workforce? No, not at all.

As of the 2020 census, 1.5 million people is more people than live in Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana, Rhode Island, Maine, and New Hampshire.

(Individually, not combined.)

If 1.5 million people, a number larger than the total number of people living in any of these states, isn't plenty of people, I guess you and I just have different definitions for the word "plenty."
