101
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: that's how I built the empire of today. And I'm

102
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 3: like that the minimum wage was way way better at

103
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: Ralph groceries than it is for like most jobs.

104

Speaker 3: Oh, it's like like twenty twenty bucks or something really yeah,

106
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:38,839

Speaker 3: Minimum wage kept place, kept pace with workers' productivity since

110
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty eight. The inflation adjusted minimum wage would be

111
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 3: twenty four dollars an hour, dude, But it's not just inflation.

112
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: If it was just inflation, then it would be like

113
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: one dollars sixty would be like eleven dollars love in

114
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,720
