So people trying to survive on the minimum wage pre covid, actually make more from the minimum wage set out by the government post covid.

This seems like a glaring example that those proponents of an increased minimum wage have a point.

Many employers go through great lengths to minimize those wages such as scheduling 39.5 hours a week and punishing those who exceed it.

I don't understand how people get pissed subsidizing people for thousands. And are fine with paying giant companies billions.

And are fine with paying giant companies billions.

I don't know anyone who has been fine with the $2 trillion+ that the government has printed during all of this to boost banks, buy toxic assets and benefit publicly traded companies. I just hope that this whole thing wakes more people up to the realization that 'big government never acts in your best interest', but I doubt it will.
