About this episode
While freshly-inaugurated Joe Biden has called to increase the federal minimum wage in the US to $15/hour and eliminate the concept of the tipped minimum wage, the restaurant and bar industry has largely claimed that such changes would adversely affect efforts to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. This week, Adam and Zach discuss whether there's any validity to these claims, and why everyone from restaurateurs to diners should support the idea of a living wage for all workers.
