It's really odd to read you agree with me. But I'm glad. I think it's just common sense?
It should be shitty enough to drive incentive for them to improve their situation. I can't get behind someone pooring coffee or flipping burgers being paid more than minimum wage. And minimum wage will always be linked to cost of living. (mean's that you will and should be struggling making min wage)
I made minimum wage. I lived with 2 other people in a 2 bedroom and a den apartment. I did that for over 3 years as I was increasing my skillset and working towards entering into my industry.
I mean hell...it really boils down to "if you make bad decisions, life is gonna be hard."
I said this to another poster, but this isn't necessarily how human motivation works. Donald Trump was a millionaire who still put in the time and work to become a billionaire. Zuckerberg was a rich kid who worked to become the richest man on earth.
Motivation and ambition aren't exclusive to people who are suffering. For some reason, people attribute their work ethic to hard times even though we all know tgat plenty of poor people are lazy af.
