cheaper ingredients for profits. they'd use sand if they could. 2.65/hr

They would use sand if they could, but 2.65/hr? Nope, not here in CA. In 2021 it was $14/hour, $15 in 2022 and rose to $20/hour in 2024.
70s i guess. 40 years ago. last time i worked for minimum. no idea except the 7.50 fed minimum they keep harping on.
