Transplant here Can someone explain why min wage is 7 dollars and no one is protesting for a min wage that covers the basic cost of living. I just don’t understand how the New Orleans worker is complacent with not getting paid, no worker rights, and still can’t afford groceries. Like what are we doing here why aren’t we in the streets demanding higher pay?????? Yall are okay with restaurants paying you 2 dollars an hour, your therapist getting paid 15 dollars an hour, your local grocery store clerk getting paid 10 an hour? New Orleans do better
