    An hour of minimum wage used to buy a decent meal. Going out to eat was just part of hanging out and now it’s a financial decision

      Even in states with a higher minimum wage, you can’t buy a single fast food combo meal on an hour of labor. :( That’s sad.

      When I was in college, I pretty much lived on $0.99 Whoppers from Burger King. Last time I looked, just a Whopper was $9. 😳
