Riiiiight... asking for people to stand on their own with marketable skills is apparently a huge ask these days from some. Just come out and say you are lazy and want hand-outs.
People who work minimum wage jobs are lazy now? You're the type of person who demands to speak to the manager when your burger takes longer than 30 seconds to arrive at the drive-through window, aren't you?
Correct, they make around $1 above minimum—~$8.45 on average—which is around $2 above poverty wage…
Even $15/h isn’t enough to survive in a non-rotting apartment, unless you walk to work, don’t eat any healthy nutritious foods, and give up on any and all hobbies/interests.
yes, in the future, everyone will be a software developer, and no one will stock shelves, deliver mail, or any of those "no-Skill" jobs that seem to need doing lest our economy collapse
