outrage.

currently, the minimum wage rate in the united states is $7.25 an hour.

a big mac meal with soda and fries costs about $6.

this means for the laborers that for every hour you work, every sweat you break, every vertebrae of your spine that you readily wear out because you have to, because taxes are due, because your wife is pregnant, because the electricity bill is to be paid tomorrow, for every rigorous and tiresome thing you do within one hour at work, sixty goddamn minutes, you can buy one cheeseburger.

a fucking cheeseburger.

in america.

eating cheeseburgers in america. the dream.

no wonder you’re so cynical.

no wonder you’ve given up.
