minimum wage is meant for teenagers to get some extra spending cash to talk their sweetheart to the malt shop

youre not supposed to be renting an apartment or buying a house on it

This is a delusional right wing talking point that is based on nothing to justify not caring about minimum wage workers. There isn't any economic theory behind it, and it isn't based in reality. If minimum wage was meant for only high school teens, it would be a law that it only applies to high school teens. Many adults receive minimum wage, and some don't even make anything. These are problems right wingers don't want to fix, or even see as problems, because they hate the poor and view the market as a god that determines your fate, and it is always just. It's a cult, really.
