Right on the money. So The TIP minimum wage is 233 an hour, which is a very antiquated law. There's some folks on the state level that are working to flip that on its head. But as somebody that's running for a federal office, I want to expand our federal minimum wage to be $15 an hour. (06:52–06:59)
