It's a website dedicated to news around Poland, and you think that Poland overtaking the US in minimum wage for the first time ever isn't news worthy of such a site..?

The news isn't "hey look were better than the almighty US!!!" it's "hey we've got a better minimum wage than x country which we've never had before"
