Is It The Job Or The Pay You Signed Up For?

People aren’t asking for “CEO wages,” they just want living wages. Someone who works 40 hours a week, sometimes more, should be able to live on what they make and not have to take a second or even third job to make ends meet. Wages haven’t kept up with the cost of living. Until the late 70s a person working a minimum wage job had a good life, a car, could even afford a house or send their kids to college. But now people, especially on the right, sneer at people who complain about wages as if they are somehow a lesser species. It’s funny, though, when the people you sneer at leave those jobs for greener fields, you folks begin complaining that “no one wants to work anymore.”

Okay since teachers get paid very little then I guess we shouldn’t have teachers they should go back to school and become a CEO instead. That’s literally your logic. Hot take- We should all be paid livable wages no matter what career we choose at the end of the day everyone is human and should have human rights like having food, water, shelter, and be happy. I truly don’t understand why you people think this way.
