  • Summary

  • Welcome back to another episode of the Fat Gay Text with Jake, where we tackle a controversial topic: "You Don't Deserve $20 an Hour for Working a Minimum Wage Job, Period." In this episode, Jake dives into the complexities of minimum wage, payroll costs, and the impact of wage increases on retail pricing and business profits.

    Using simple math, Jake breaks down the potential effects of raising the average grocery store employee's salary from $14 to $20 an hour. He explores how such a change would affect both consumers and businesses, emphasizing the delicate balance between fair wages and profitability.

    Jake also shares his personal frustrations with the entitlement mentality surrounding wage increases, arguing that higher wages should come from increased effort, skill, or additional jobs rather than demands for more money for the same work.

    Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the economics of wage increases and the responsibilities of both employees and employers in today's society.
