Raising a child costs between $13k[2] and $35k[1] per year in the USA – depending on where you live and who you ask.
With a minimum wage job ($7.25/hr) you need to work about 5 to 13 hours per day to make that much – before taxes.

Great, we are back to exactly where we were. What does society do with people that are not valuable enough to pay a “living wage”?
Still didn’t answer my question.
Your question has nothing to do with what I said and is a strawman. How about my question or are we just doing strawmen now?
It has everything to do with it as you are very insistent on underpaying people for some reason. You have yet to state that reason.
To answer your question I would need more information. Exactly what do you mean by ‘not valuable enough to earn a living wage’?

Strawman
Some people are not valuable enough as workers to get paid a living wage, what do they do for employment or income?
Define ‘not valuable enough’ and I’ll answer you.
Meaning they dont bring in enough money or value to justify the amount they earn.
And how do they do that?
Its actually more of what they dont do than what they do.
