It gets worse if you can prove that the size has also decreased over time.

It looks like it shrank just from the picture. It doesn't even fill the hash brown slot

I'd be totally down to peg the minimum wage to hashbrowns.

$7.25 / 0.79 ~ 9.18 hash browns per hour.
$3.49 per hash brown ~ minimum wage of $32.07.
Makes you wonder about all the jobs paying less that and how much wages have been stolen.

We won't make it long enough, due to the extremely destructive and uncaring nature of our economic systems, but if we did humans would look at this era as a new dark age. The brutality will only increase as the climate worsens.

"If we raise the minimum wage, then prices will go up"
raises prices anyway

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.

Hashbrowns near me are $1.79. Still too expensive, but not about three fiddy.

I’m in Aus and near me hashbrowns are $2.80, so almost exactly the same (US$1.83). The difference is I can buy 8 hashbrowns with change for an hour at minimum wage here. That’s still double the number you could get, even at this cheaper price.

I remember when McChickens and McDoubles were 99¢, after work I'd get like 6-7 of them

Ah yes, the notoriously most expensive of all the vegetables: the potato.
Duuuuude I haven't been to McDonald's in forever but fuck me sideways with a lunch box $3.50 for a hash brown??!! You could go to McDonald's with $10 and come home with... Two hashbrowns lol wth is going on.
Corporate Greedflation and political deadlock.
Or
Late stage capitalism perhaps.
