Food service and the living wage

Saw this video from the D&D people on Instagram and it reminded me of one of my soapboxes: that everyone deserves to be paid enough to live on, no matter how humble their job is.

“If you work a job, then you outta make a living” is how the country song puts it (I’ll have to link that one too). I’ve got other thoughts about disability and UBI, but as an absolute baseline I’m comfortable with that; and we, as a society, still do not reach it. The bar is under the ground and we’re still somehow not clearing it.
