There's something alot of people seem to not understand in life when making arguments about money, work and life. See as much as it would be nice and great for minimum wage to be raised to let's say $15 an hour like alot of people are screaming about but that wouldn't fix your issue. Everyone seems to ignore or forget the follow up that would happen with that. The minimum is raised and then cost of living rises again. The real solution here is to lower the cost of living or find a way to raise the minimum and prevent them from raising the cost but how would we do that? What's the magical thing that could force them to make the two go hand in hand? I know 90% of people would refuse to stop buying alot of things to send a message as well as refusing to make lifestyle changes. The sad thing is is that everyone wants to change things but never put in the actual work it takes to change these things.
