Dear Gunjan, Just heard your interview on Andrew Yang's podcast. You sounded sympathetic to working people so I wanted to offer you my perspective as a 66 year old guy, soon to be 67. A) I was talking a few days ago to someone who was about 30 and I told them that in 1978 I was moving paint cans at Sears for minimum wage of $2.65 an hour. They pulled out their phone to see what that would be like in today's money. He said it was $30.
