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 ???
