So, honest question that comes of my own ignorance. Is a minimum wage supposed to be livable? I always figured minimum wage jobs were for people like teens who didn’t need to afford housing.

Nothing in min wage law adjusts your wages based on whether or not you’re someone else’s dependent.
Yea so that’s the argument that people who don’t agree with making a liveable wage give. In reality there is just a great group of people who are only eligible for minimum wage or close to minimum wage jobs. So a fair bit of adults that are even trying to support their children.
So I think we can all agree that especially if 2 parents are working 40 hours a week should be able to at least live a decent life in a Western country. And that’s mainly in to question here. For teens you could always have a lower minimum wage until they’re older. As they have in plenty countries.
Does this address your question properly?
Yep. Time to drop the uniparty. Vote TRUMP 2024!
The fuck you doing on Lemmy, you little bitch?
Republicans can’t be on Lemmy? I know it’s mostly Dems on here, but diversity and differing views is a good sign for the platform
You sure can, but don’t start crying when you’re constantly being shitted on for supporting the orange piece of shit. Either way, they offer nothing of value to any conversation other than stupidity, hateful rhetoric, and Donnie. So they can fuck right off.
