Rising gas prices force drivers to work for less than minimum wage

Doesn't anyone who drives to a minimum wage job automatically work for less than the minimum wage, since a car and gasoline cost money?

Wow, so even the US is hit bad even though their gas is much cheaper than in the EU? How does that work?

Americans have bigger vehicles because the cost of fuel is included in the past choices they've made (if I'm understanding your question).

Where I am right now, gas is over €2 per liter. But it's common to have a little car that's fuel efficient. In lots of places in the US (and Canada, where gas is not as cheap but has been under $1 CAD per liter in the last fee years), there are way more SUVs and pickups.

I'm not trying to say it's good or bad, just that it's a shock based on what people are used to.

With the labour shortages, does it still make sense to drive for ride shares?
