Bette Midler: Black Friday Brawls Wouldnāt Happen If People Had a āDecent Minimum Wageā
Actress and singer Bette Midler says people go crazy during Black Friday shopping sales because the minimum wage is not high enough.
As stories of Black Friday shoppers preparing to rev up their engines spread across the country, Midler jumped to her Twitter account to give us all the benefit of her wisdom.
āAnd how was YOUR Black Friday? No injuries, I hope!ā Bette Midler said on Saturday. āItās incredible that we have to fight over STUFF. If there were a DECENT minimum wage, or if workers were treated fairly, and got a tiny portion of the kinds of salaries and bonuses CEOS pay themselves, we wouldnāt.ā
Twitter users quickly scolded the Broadway star.
One user replied, āYou live in W.C. Fieldsā old mansion, Bette. If you donāt love āstuff,ā then move to a smaller and less opulent place. Most of the people shopping on Black Friday canāt afford any of the thing you take for granted.ā
Another, though, pointed out that Midler does support a number of charities, at least two of which are economic improvement funds.
But more wondered why Midler, who is worth an estimated $230 million, doesnāt give her money to low wage workers on her movie sets if she is so worried about peopleās income.
Another poked Midler in the ribs for the high cost of her concert tickets.
Finally, one Twitter user noted simply that Midler had āspoken like someone truly out of touch.ā
