Minimum wage was never intended to be a living wage, even in the 60s when it almost was anyway.

I can imagine it.

And I did live at home at the time.

Granted, I was 17, and was able to live on the 120-something dollars I made weekly at the time, because I was still in High School.

All those years of "fight for 15" accomplished nothing.
A goddamn pandemic instilling a mass sense of "this just ain't worth it" is what's finally moving wages upward.

Well, he didn't lie when he said it, because at the time, it was a living wage.

In other words, based exactly on what he said verbatim, it WAS intended to be a living wage and should have kept up with inflation.

The initial purpose of a minimum wage was to price minorities out of railroad jobs.

100% should have.

But to call FDR a liar based off of what happened after he left office is a bit unfair, no?

That would be like blaming a guy that managed the Mets 20 years ago for how bad they are today.
