Our grandparents were too busy working for their goals to get on a soap box and cry. They had it far harder and did far more with less. I’m a junior high drop out with no formal education. I made a lot of bad decisions in the first 30 years of my life. With a little direction and a lot of work. I was able to get out of debt, save for a down payment on a house. Worked two jobs while starting a business and supported a family of 6 and two dogs from one income of 60k a year. The American dream is alive and well. Really easier now than ever before due to the lack of competition. So few people want the responsibilities of starting a business or progressing in their job/career. Most want to stay every level while making executive money. Unfortunately too many people want to live 25% outside of their income level and wonder why they can’t get ahead. It’s basic math. Too many have no concept of basic economics or personal finance. They’re forced to believe it’s normal to live this way by the same people trying to sell them shit or win votes. As for the actual number for a living wage, I’ve never got one. If I had I’d then break down how economics works and why they don’t ever change the desired outcome. Very basic example: Money is a physical representation of labor. If it takes me 100 hours to produce 1000 ears of corn. My ratio is 1 hour to 10 ears. If an ear of corn is 1.00 this hourly rate would be 10.00 an hour. If we arbitrarily raise the rate to 50.00 an hour. Everything and everyone else is impacted. The labor to dollar ratio hasn’t changed. The corn goes up, wages for those that purchase corn goes up etc. A doctor for reference May have a 100.00 an hour rate. His labor and service hasn’t change. His rate is now 500.00 to adjust. Now this is a very basic example. There are far more moving parts but the math is the same. Some basic research on the monetary systems and labor vs dollar helps to put things into perspective. This is also why minimum wages never seem to catch up with standards of living. It’s because the two are directly tied together. You adjust one the other moves as well. It’s the unfortunate result of an finically illiterate society banking on the same politicians and corporations to solve the self created problem. Only resulting in more political and corporate power. Resulting in more problems. Things will only change when people wake up. And fortunately for all of us. They are. Just not so much on this and other establishment propaganda channels. Let me know if you have any questions or or need clarification. 👍🏼🇺🇸
