In 2025, the federal minimum wage is officially a “poverty wage.” The annual earnings of a single adult working full-time, year-round at $7.25 an hour now fall below the poverty threshold of $15,650 (established by the Department of Health and Human Services guidelines). The limitations of how the federal government calculates poverty understate how far the minimum wage is from economic security for workers and their families.
If not you should reexamine which political label you have chosen for yourself and see if it actually matches your contempt for all who earn wages.

You don’t have the mental capacity to see it.
