Minimum wage in the US is sickening. 15 year olds earn more per hour here.

Yeah I would choose the Coast. I am debating on moving somewhere, I want to visit Australia, maybe not visit it. I am debating on moving to Washington or California

Pot is still very much a serious thing here. Im guessing it's pretty similar to the states though, where you can get your nice cops and your arsehole cops... Getting busted with anything over a quart is pretty serious business though... not to mention the quality of bud is much lower.

 you're not wrong, inland is pretty desolate. Although it makes for some beautiful landscapes.

Of course people may argue that raising the minimum wage hurts the economy becasue we've never done it before, and so we don't really know what happens when you create an artificial floor for wages. Oh wait, sorry, apparently it's been done a lot of times without any long term ill effects.
My county is raising the minimum wage in steps over the next two years from 9.50 to 11.50.

it's easy to say but when you just start a business it's not like it's guaranteed you're going to become a millionaire franchise owner
somebody who owns a business isn't going to share with someone who just walked into the door and doubley so if they haven't ran the business itself in generations...

So true. Have you ever seen those videos of Walmart or Taco Bell employees pissing all over the food, or deliberately breaking boxes and shit?

People get comfortable and act entitled really fast too though. At my first high paying construction job I would hear guys who make 30 bucks an hour saying "I don't get paid enough for this" constantly. I initially was like wow, how can they say that? That's good pay. I fell into the same thinking pretty quick. A pay increase doesn't necessarily make for happier employees.

I'm going to say whatever you're talking about probably has more to do with their maturity level than their wages. Just a hunch.

Using the Big Mac Index isn't a super good comparison of PPP for australia to US...it says so right in the article. The cost of living is much higher in australia so it makes sense that the minimum wage is higher, doesn't mean a big mac specifically should be more/less expensive
