Under federal law, you can work 2 full time jobs, 80 hours a week, and still not make $120/day ($120 = 8 hrs x $15/hr). $15/hr isn't insane, it's not even bare minimum anymore.
Ever since Trump got elected (and probably before that too, I just don’t know when) conservative people in general, not just politicians, but your everyday Americans, have been more comfortable showing themselves to be racist, anti-science, ignorant morons. Which makes me sad.
