There are no perpetrators. In 2019, anyone with a pulse in the United States can find a $15/hr service job. In most of the country that’s a living wage. (Except for California, ironically, one of the places instituting the policies people here advocate for). In fact, a couple making 60k is in a position to buy a house in most of the country.

Now, will most of these people save up and become millionaires and by a condo in San Francisco? No. But life isn’t fair. I wish I could afford a few Supercars and an oceanfront villa, but I can’t and I don’t blame that on income equality.
