I live in a major US state in a moderate to high cost of living city. Most of the populous states have minimum wages between $12-18. Rent at a trailer park is easily doable at 1.5hrs/day at $15/hr.
It really isn’t. Maybe 40 years ago. There’s a reason we’re in a cost of living crisis and the homelessness rate has soared in the last five years faster than any other point in us history. Its not a lack of jobs.
Hell working homeless is at its highest point in human history.
No, you’re making things up entirely based on imaginary ideas. A studio for just a week’s worth of work a minimum wage? Even in the early 2000s that was practically a myth. No american I have ever known has paid less than half their wages for rent; including myself when I still lived in that shit hole.
Maybe the rich lived differently, and from your naive idealism it’s clear you did, but christ I would have loved to not pay nearly all my income for housing.
Congrats on living in a ridiculously low cost of living country that’s not the us, the west, or even most parts of china at this point.

I’m basing everything on 2025 numbers. You seem to be just making claims based on vibes.
