Don’t really like the connotation. Kind of feels like it’s suggesting that wages have risen enough over time because they’ve risen 29x. We can do math.

Yeah, they usually can’t. A lot of people just live with a bunch of roommates and split the cost. Or they live with their parents. It’s such a joke that minimum wage is as low as it is.
Yeah, from what I understand the point of minimum wage was to force employers to pay their employees a livable wage. It should probably be closer to 30-40 dollars per hour depending on where you live. Maybe more to afford health insurance.
I don’t really understand what’s going on in this post. Socialism doesn’t have anything to do with fascism or racism or dictatorships.
The US doesn’t offer a lot of things.
Short answer is because of capitalism and greed in general.
You’re not wrong in suggesting both sides of American government are corrupt. I believe they tell their constituents what they want to hear for the votes but in reality everything is about money. Normal people like us just get burned. I still vote Democrat every election though. Best I can do.
