#2I mean have a conversation about the wage gap sure but know that these numbers are not meaningful as it regards the US.
Re: Minimum Wage Clock
#3I think it's appalling that the minimum wage is capped based on your age in the UK. It implies that the value provided to the employer is lower if you're younger.
The minimum wage should be the same for everyone. There's plenty of 18 year olds out there doing more than their 30 year old counterparts and getting paid less for it.

Why is it appalling? if you want to promote people having kids then this is one of the ways to do it. a kid can live sharing rent or with his parents, an adult cannot.

#5This site doesn't distinguish pay and not-pay, I think. Sundar Pichai is paid about $8m/year, not $100k/hour. The rest is stock. And even that vests over 3 years[0], not one year.

And if someone isn't minimum wage useful by 14, then our school system is an abject failure and the bureaucracy should be fired.

$12-15 today is effectively lower than the federal minimum was 4 years ago. It's a completely disingenuous argument to make that it's acceptable to pay people that little.

I guarantee you you put a $15/hr person in that site and you barely notice a difference compared to a billionaire.

It's not a cap, it's a minimum.
This is so people can employ kids who have very little economic value and train them to have lots of it.

However, ~30% of all hourly, non-self-employed workers 18 and older in the U.S. are "near-minimum-wage" workers, who make more than the minimum wage in their state but less than $10.10 an hour. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2017/01/04/5-facts-a...
