Pretty sure they are saying that places where the minimum wage is higher, such as CA ($20), will charge more than states with the federal minimum wage of $7.25.

Right. We're all here trying to extrapolate what OP is trying to say.

Cheesy Roll Up and Spicy Potato Soft Taco $1.19 in my area. Both are delicious, especially with the salsas.
I decided to make a trip to Taco Bell to see just how crazy things were after a long time. If you can get a regular drink for under $1.19 or at $1.19, during Happy Hour, even better.
Didn't know TB has salsas. Tried all of their sauces but never any salsas.

Considering the gdp of the United States, the last census of Chicago -including the collar countries, and stereotyping for racism, the spicy potato soft taco costs two mins of power diarrhea.

As I understand it, 1963 was the last year our money used real silver coins. State min wage was 5 silver quarters. So today's min wage using real silver would convert to $79 per hour min wage.

In 1971 with ending the gold standard and creating the fed min wage, 1971 pay in gold would convert today to about $200 per hour min wage.

Nobody makes the minimum wage anymore. A truly enlightened weirdo would index this to the cost of living in different areas.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.

thats not my point. are you fighting for a $79 min wage for them or for you? they will be making more than my boss.
