The GOP supports a minimum wage of twenty‐five dollars per hour now?

Coming the table from a leftist perspective, it reads like one huge argument for shorter work days. The various statistics I came across by a quick Googling seem to indicate an average hourly wage of between $23 and $28, but I doubt either includes non-working Americans. Really, a median wage would be more appropriate for this purpose than an average. Also, undershirts notwithstanding, are eggs really that cheap in the US? I pay twice that over here.

The cheapest eggs with the see-through shells are $1.79 for a dozen

In the Bay Area of California, the store brand “Value Corner Large Shell Eggs - 12 Count” is $3.39, but they were definitely cheaper in Oregon when I lived there. Not that much cheaper though, IIRC. A quick search suggests $2.29 for comparable.

AFAIKT, the Bay Area is one of the most expensive places in the US to shop for groceries, so it may not be representative. (Anecdotally, from a relative who moved there.) Isn't it a little bit ridiculous for the GOP to claim these extremely low average prices though?

If anything, the differential between minimum wage and "average income" claimed by that chart proves that Income Inequality is a bigger issue now than ever before, which is not exactly a great talking point for modern GOP politics.

Do most people on hourly even get full-time hours? I don't think I've ever worked a place where the average employee was full-time. That's the provenance of salaried managers. If you're only counting people on the books somewhere as "full-time" that's going to skew the poo poo out of the average hourly wage.

Try living in a country where it is illegal to hire more staff unless all your employees who are not seasonal helpers or stuff such as TA's are at full hours?

Love how they always leave off healthcare, housing, and education from those charts. Standard argument - poor people shouldn’t complain because certain things are cheap.

There’s also the conspicuous mention of a transatlantic flight. That’s them saying that if you don’t like it, just a few days of work will get you enough to fly to a socialist paradise.

I've never heard this confirmed one way or the other, but I've always had a sneaking suspicion that they phrased the question "Do you have a fridge?" I mean, I have a fridge. I don't own it. I rent it with my apartment. But if you asked me, do you have a fridge, I would say yes.

Who needs housing when after one hour of work you have made enough money to buy 30 pounds of rice? That means the typical AMerican worker in an eight-hour workday could purchase 240 pounds of rice. Given that according to a very scientific estimate a modest one-story 1,200-foot house weighs approximately 240,000 pounds, the average American worker could afford to purchase the weight of a house in rice over the course of 1,000 days, or approximately three years of full-time work, at which point they could build their own home out of rice and at that point who needs healthcare or education really
