Google "Barbara Lee $160,000 minimum wage".
I don't disagree that some minimum wage adjustments are warranted in some cases. I just have trouble with the the oft used argument "living wage" put forth by most liberals. It's never defined but seems to always be associated with the fast food industry with the implication that these workers need more wages to make what is typically an entry level job for a high schooler
a career.

McDonalds increased prices last year. That increase in prices led to record increases in profits. The increased profits were used to buy back stocks and not to compensate front line workers.
McDonalds has been way up here as well ... along with inflation, interest, food and fuel. It's not just the US and Biden

The term living wage originated by the workers themselves (I think it became modernized during unionization at Starbucks push). I don't see it as liberal only concept, but since just about everyone is liberal by you, I can see where you would. I assure you it is a phrase used in red states conservative workers too as in the recent Unionization of VW.
