In many places you can’t even rent a room for 500/month.
That being said, 10/hr is fine when you are 20 and can share an apartment with buddies.
If your 30 or 40 making 10/hr something went wrong.
But their are not nearly enough middle and high paying jobs in this country. The results of generations of a cheap labor policy.
UBER. How much do their drivers make? The laws of supply and demand suggest they will not ‘share’ their profits with their drivers. Greed? I think it the inability to recognize when you’ve got a good thing going.
Cheap labor policy has killed the ability of a lower middle class family to keep their head above water and to have a single wage care for a family. This results in kids gone wild, kids raised by socialist programming, and kids forever devoted to the liberal world view.
Cheap labor policy is not an accident.
