      What made you come to that conclusion? That’s a perfectly fair minimum wage for a place as expensive as NYC. And it could be passed by the city council and signed by the mayor. Adams just vetoed a bill trying to raise the app worker minimum wage to $22/hour or so. $30 is only 1/3 more than this, and Mamdani proposed implementing it over several years. I think you may just be suffering from jealousy, and ignoring that this is in the context of NYC, where $60k/year is not a lot of money.

        Because it would never happen. Only one third more?

        Listen, if you “only” got one third more money next paycheck you’d be pretty stoked
