In the 1900's single people where able to work a minimum wage job and but their own home and raise a family, in 2023 that is not just figuratively but literally impossible. Now I am not saying that you should be able to become a millionaire from working your minimum wage job, I am however saying that a minimum wage job should provide the minimum amount of money for someone to live a happy, fulfilling life where they don't have to be constantly worrying about when their next meal is or working at least two jobs to pay the bills. A minimum wage job should provide the minimum amount of money that is required to live a healthy and full life. that is, enough to comfortably support a person living alone while owning the house they live in.
