One of the major issues with fair compensation is that the media and politicians make the public believe that caring for your fellow man's wages is a bad thing. Tell anyone that you support higher wages for essential workers if it means you get taxed a little bit more and people freak out.
When the news was reporting that McDonalds employees wanted $15 an hour people were appalled. I said I was all for it. If each meal at McDonald's goes up $1 to cover the extra salary of employees then sure. I barely ever eat there but I'll pay the $1 even if I eat there twice a week. But people scream SOCIALIST! and try to denigrate you bc you don't want people to suffer and struggle off garbage wages
That is not the media. That is what people think and say. You are confusing reporting with commentary on the reporting.
