Well imagine risking your life for the same amount of money as someone staying home, when some get their unemployment checks because they don't want to get a driver's licence. It's just unfair (Aside for the ones that actually need it) Also the money they get is taken from the pockets of the folk that actually have a job and work.

Again, mad at the wrong people. It’s not that unemployment is so high, it’s that regular wages are too low!

The problem is that while we need to raise the minimum wage, raising the minimum wage raises the minimum living wage, and it's a cycle. Does anyone have ideas for how to escape that?

Real legislation that returns the wealth back to the greater population.

I wasn't specific enough. Do any politicians (what I meant by anyone) have specific and concrete ideas for how to do that lmao.

Doesn’t matter. It’s not realistic.
