If fifty an hour became minimum wage, I'd get the hell out of my soul crushing accounting gig and go become a parking lot attendant faster than you can say, "cash or credit?"

It's three o'clock in the morning and I'm just leaving for work. I got home after eight last night. This won't stop until late October. I spend those hours getting yelled at by rich people. I'd LOVE to downgrade my profession.

Imagine how much they’d have to raise your current wage to remain competitive. Especially with such a poor work life balance.

That's my point. The whole thing sets off massive currency devaluation

I wonder what that would be like... /s

sounds like you just need a new employer. Most people don't work 3am-8pm...
