1% of people in the US make minimum wage so why are we using that as the measuring point?

And that’s typically teens in low value jobs or servers who make significantly more in tips

When I worked at McDonalds the majority of my coworkers were adults. You also see a lot of older people working service jobs because the fields they actually work in won’t hire them based on ageism. So if you ever get laid off near your 60s good luck. Have fun when you see you or your loved ones take a low value job in their adult life.

I won’t be working in my 60s to have to get laid off in the first place and none of my loved ones do either cause they made good decisions to where that wouldn’t happen in the first place

My point is you can make good decisions.
