I have a coworker that will bring up how places like Target are starting to offer a minimum wage almost comparable to his wage as a engineering field technician. “It’s fucked up, I mean imagine if they raised it to your wage as a college grad, how would you feel? Random teenagers making as much as you!”

“It IS fucked up, but not for the reason you think. They SHOULD be making more money… but so should the rest of us!”

He usually just mutters to himself and drops it. Propaganda is a helluva drug.
