This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like. Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour. This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York. This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary. Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little theyre earning by turning this mindless crank. A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day at much harder jobs than turning a crank. This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.
It`s a grind but is it a living?

In break with most retailers, Costco's CEO says he supports President Obama's call to raise the minimum wage. But while the President hopes to boost it to $9 an hour, Costco would let it go even greater, to $10.10 an hour. A short term loan can help you pay for things until you get a pay increase.
