Minimum Wage Workers - If They Aren’t Worth a Living Wage, Why Do You Trust Them With Your Food?

Описание: om Powell Jr. reacts to a powerful video by Mr. Global addressing one of the most toxic ideas in American economics: that low-wage workers don’t deserve a living wage because they’re “easily replaceable.”

Tom expands on Mr. Global’s central point — time is the most valuable asset any worker gives, and every day it becomes more precious. Whether someone is flipping burgers or running a corporation, they are trading away the one thing they can never replenish.

Tom digs deeper:

Why people devalue minimum-wage workers while relying on them every single day.

The hypocrisy of trusting “unskilled workers” with your food, your children, your stores, your supply chains — but refusing to pay them enough to survive.

Why the argument “they can be replaced” exposes a mindset that sees humans as disposable rather than valuable contributors.

How living wages benefit not just workers, but businesses, communities, and the entire economy.

Why a society that depends on low-wage labor must stop pretending those workers are “worthless” — especially when they’re essential to your daily life.

Tom makes it clear:
If a worker isn’t skilled enough to earn a livable wage, then why would you ever trust them to handle, cook, or prepare your food?
Because the truth is, they are skilled — and their time matters.

This commentary is a must-watch for anyone following the minimum wage debate, labor rights, or economic justice.
