        @WSJ Were fast food salaries ever meant to be a living wage? Weren't these jobs originally held by kids living at home?

        @WSJ Fathering a child when I worked two fast food jobs wasn't even a consideration... It's called personal responsibility... Get some 😮

        @WSJ how many don't have a high school diploma, or are single parents? Did you know the military lower enlisted are on assistance?

        @WSJ BTW, no mention of how many minimum wage workers have spouses/significant others that work & also bring in an income.

        @WSJ That would translate into .0078 of US workforce that have children & earn a minimum wage.

        @WSJ Technology can replace these jobs, it's nice that chains still use ppl. Education is what these ppl need not pay raise.
