    You can’t go lower than minimum wage. Those making minimum wage would benefit the most.

    Better to say “It’s unlawful to go lower than minimum wage”. Though, here are some lawful situations where employers pay sub-minimum wage. We all know companies don’t operate lawfully.

      I knew there were circumstances where someone could be paid less than minimum wage but damn…we have a purpose made rule for people with disabilities? It makes me question the places I know have a tendency to hire people with mental disabilities. Did they do it to be kind? Or did they do it to have cheaper labor to go collect shopping carts?
