Raising the minimum wage won't help

[Rev. Rye]

If your sole job skill is "do you want fries with that?" you need to get more skills - or get your mother flowers regularly - because you' ll be living in her basement for some time....

Don't expect to be able to support yourself.

Which assumes that
A) The job market isn’t jacked to the point where college degrees are damn near worthless (note: this has been the case for well over a decade.)
B) The only people working at McDonald’s are those who don’t have other skills and that any jobs with skills they do have are comparatively easy to get.
C) Someone working at McDonald’s has enough disposable income to buy flowers for their mother
D) Someone who works 8 hours a day somehow doesn’t necessarily deserve to survive on the wages they earn (not even thriving, just being able to meet their basic lower-tier Maslovian needs, shit like being able to keep a roof over their heads that isn’t cardboard or food in their stomachs they didn’t have to take from a dumpster, which isn't really possible anymore if you're just trying to live on a $7.25/hour minimum wage.)
