time to talk about minimum wage jobs

CW/TW: death, unsafe working conditions

It's time to talk about minimum wage jobs! This week, Eden and Noble discuss the problems with the current minimum wage (which is especially low in NC!) and the problematic work conditions and expectations that come with many minimum wage jobs in America (Amazon, we're looking at you!). We hope you learn something from this conversation just as we did!
