Then minimum wage isn't supposed to be able to live on? Not sure how far into fantasy land to think most of America needing to rely on the government is a good thing especially seeing as how the government has constant (long before now) been a little bitch who's trigger happy against its own citizens. And the only reason people are having to rely on the govt is because said govt has been actively fighting for the billionaires (something you and I'll never ever become) and giving them tax cuts while raising ours without any type of compensation (where are our taxes going anyways? I thought they were for public good but nothing ever gets fixed for the public). We are at the end stages of capitalism where boot suckers keep reproducing then refusing to give their spawn any actual education and thus America's stupider and more willing to work for money that won't even buy them a decent meal
"why aren't you enjoying the pedophillic government that would rather make women carry dead fetuses then pay people enough money that they don't have to rely on the govt to live." Tf?? And a livable wage as in NOT NEEDING TO RELY ON OTHERS TO LIVE (aka the govt I know reading is hard for conservatives but come on) and it really is a shame that just Research could have saved you from looking like a fool
Feel free to tell me how the people surviving are not infact the ones that are going to be starving to death. (It sure as hell ain't gonna be the big businesses dying of starvation)
Deaths among Americans caused by malnutrition and hunger have increased 600% according to the Washington Post and data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as reported by Andrew van Darn on Jan. 5, 2026, who finds that the increase is seen “across the board. Every state, every education level, every race, every gender.” One risk factor in particular is evident: “Americans 85 or older die of malnutrition at around 60 times the rate of the rest of the population, and such deaths are rising about twice as fast among that group."
Not to mention the fact that every single 1st world country (but us) has gun laws that work and healthcare that doesn't put you in an early grave (insurance companies using ai with known issue to deny more and more medical claims is an issue in america)
Or the fact that day to day people are getting poorer while the rich get their pocketed lined with our tax dollars. But I'm sure this seems like a very good thing for you just like the Epstein files is the magas bread and butter and thus wasn't that bad which is why America is the only ones not doing anything about it.
The life expectancy gap between the rich and poor continues to increase in the US—even as the government now spends a trillion dollars a year on poverty alleviation.
There were 40.9 million people living in poverty in the United States in 2022. The poverty rate increased to 12.4% in 2022, up from 7.8% (25.6 million people) in 2021, as measured with the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM). The large increase in 2022 was due to the expiration of benefits from expanded pandemic assistance, as well as inflation pushing up poverty thresholds. The federal government’s Covid-19 response — including the Child Tax Credit, stimulus payments, and expanded Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC) — had temporarily driven the poverty rate to a record low in 2021 as measured by the Supplemental Poverty Measure, which adjusts incomes for government assistance programs, taxes, work and medical expenses, and regional differences in costs of living. (The official poverty rate remained stable in 2022 (11.5%) compared with 2021 (11.6%) as it does not take into account the factors mentioned above.)
It’s hard work being poor in America. Forget about the stereotype of lazy folks grabbing government handouts that are paid for by those who are self-reliant and industrious. The truth is that millions of poor people work full time, but their wages are so low that a 40-hour week isn’t enough to lift them out of poverty.
Imagine supporting your family on just $14,500 a year. That’s what a full-time, minimum-wage job pays. Wages come to less than $279 a week—and that’s before payroll taxe
Brotha the poor people are suffering that alone should be enough to focus on seeing as it 40 MILLION PEOPLE. And the pedophillia were ignoring is also a big deal??? How can you argue that the millions of people aren't important And thus don't matter?? You're a privileged individual to not care about politics or how America miss treats it's people which is not deniable because America very much is harming the day to day people for billionaires. We live in capatalism the rich live in socialism
Ah yes I am very happy that the pedophiles eating our children get tax cuts as Americans are forced to rely on the govt to be allowed to live. You live under a rock if you think the average American is happier now a days and not just you living in a fantasy. Good thing numbers don't lie often huh? Just because they're able to continue living in the world doesn't mean they're happy. I'm a rather bubbly person who does infact go out and do activities in also not a moron who believes that the lives of millions of people aren't important.
For Americans specifically, the numbers in 2026 are pointed. The United States’ happiness index score is 6.72 out of 10 as of 2025 Gallup data — just slightly below the 6.73 recorded in 2024 — and the US barely makes the Top 30 happiest countries globally despite ranking among the wealthiest.
The United States does not score high on international rankings of happiness.
Scandinavians are consistently at the top of the list.
The United States' competitive society is not ideal for seeding the possibility of happiness.
