In Europe there are a lot of social benefits that mitigate this.

- Health care

- Worker protections

- Required time off

- Sick time

- Maternity leave

etc.

Here its $15. And you're on your fucking own.

If you compare it to completely underdeveloped or dictatorial economies... Sure I guess its way better. But the US shouldn't be comparing comparing itself to that. Its like saying "This engineer is horrible, but he's not as bad as this drug addict that is yelling all day outside our front door!"
