DagwoodIII comments on U.S. workers took home their smallest share of capital since at least 1947

In 1947, minimum wage was 40 cents an hour.

A 25 cent breakfast at a New York City fast food restaurant was fresh juice, eggs, pan cakes, or chipped beef on toast.

Know any place near you that offers a good $3.00 breakfast?

you couldn't get someone to spit in your mouth for $3.00, man.

Nah, that’s an easy one. Find someone who would spit in your mouth for free. Then just give them $3 afterwards.

no no no, that's not allowed, it's not paying if they do it for free. that's not commerce, that's just kink.

To be fair, some states have a minimum wage twice the federal, so the price should be like $7. Still probably very few places.
