Over on Reddit, someone dropped an old tweet that said if minimum wage went to $15/hr, Taco Bell burritos would be $23 a piece. The original tweet gets a reply that DC has a $13/hr minimum wage and the most expensive burritos are still three bucks and change. I've seen the meme many times, and felt like poking the bear, so I did a touch of digging. DC raised their minimum wage to $17/hr this summer, and using good old google, I found the menu for DC Taco Bells, which showed the most expensive burrito currently at $6.29.
It's almost like the people who understand economics and business are right yet again, while the moonbats who think whatever they are told to think are wrong... again.
The optics right now are horrible for that message on the street level.
Cause the optics are the important part, not the fact that it's hard to put a roof over you and your family's head and food on the table in the Biden economy, and he's (and his string pullers) are not doing the things they can do to help that.
