>Foods more expensive but you can still get a good restaurant cooked meal at 1/2 an hour’s minimum wage.

I'd love to know where I can find a "good restaurant cooked meal" for US$3.63[0].

Would you share even one location where that's possible? I'd eat every single meal there myself!

My state minimum wage is $17.13/hr and city is $21.30. There is a ton in that range…
I don't live in or near Seattle. And while I do live in a state with a comparable minimum wage, many folks do not.

Let's try that in Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma or one of the 17 other states with a $7.25 minimum wage and see how we do?
