I did "$7.25/hr Energy" in July of 2022 and the federal minimum wage still hasn't changed. It's been $7.25 since 2009. Even then, it was insulting. Now... it doesn't even begin to approach a livable wage. Plenty of us want to work; we just don't want to work ourselves to death at making someone else richer, without ever getting to actually *live* our lives.
