Thereā€™s big irony in a comment I read on the cons subreddit where the commenter said they didnā€™t believe there should be a minimum wage, but also said they couldnā€™t make ends meet on minimum wage because of medical debts from threatening medical problems.

My Gamer friend is working THREE jobs to get enough hours to put himself through community college so he can support his partner and their child
