A group of low-cost airline executives, including those from Frontier and Avelo, met with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Federal Aviation Administration chief Bryan Bedford last Tuesday, reportedly requesting $2.5 billion in government assistance. The airlines will give government warrants that could convert into equity stakes in the company.

I made them the same offer that I had made the five players the night before, and that was that if they wanted to receive a humanitarian visa for Australia, which would have a pathway to a permanent visa. I had the paperwork ready to execute that immediately. They both said that they did. I signed off on that.

That's why it's called the MINIMUM wage. If jobs are difficult or require experience, then they get paid more than that. They make it sound like these employees will suddenly be living in the lap of luxury at $31,200 a year. If your rent is $1,000 (the national average is $1,700), that leaves you with only $19,000 to live on for the whole year before taxes. That doesn't count food, cars, clothes, insurance, phones, etc....
