* Australia's minimum wage is almost $17 an hour.
* Workers aren't being replaced by robots.
* It makes other forms of work seem more valuable, thus they tend to have wages that pay more.
* Everyone earns more, so they spend more.
* Our burgers cost only about a 50-70cents more than the USA, while opening up opportunities for the workers to farther their careers by being able to AFFORD their higher education, it's almost expected a young teen would be working at a job like Fast food.
* No one leaves tips, there is no need to do so.
The USA's minimum wage has been stuck at it's level for decades, consequently... Thanks to Inflation, workers today are earning less than they did a decade ago for the same amount of work... Why? Because of greed.
The USA is supposed to be the "land of opportunity" - But really it's anything but that.
There is a large fraction of the American population living in poverty or near poverty, why is that seen as acceptable?
