    So a 8 hour work day at minimum wage is 16 hashbrowns x 140 kcal = 2240 kcal.

    This is barely enough kcal to feed one person for a day.

    So by working minimum wage 7 days a week you don’t even have enough money to feed yourself with hashbrowns.

      I don’t think hashbrowns have the best dollar/calorie ratio. That said, we still need a higher minimum wage, and not just for the visionaries who want to live off hashbrowns

        It’s not like hashbrowns are a fancy gourmet food either.

        It’s shredded potato fried in oil. It was farmer’s breakfast in Switzerland because it’s cheap, calorie dense ingredients that can be stored for a very long time.
