The average life GLOBALLY sets that the "minimum wage" life in the US is the top 10% globally.

> And the global median income is just $1,225 a year
You can be worth $4/k total and still be worth more than 50% of the world. Your $15-25k/year income for minimum wages is still 10x the global median and your "I can't afford a nice apartment" life is still 100x better than most of those places.
"every wage should be able" Why? Because you feel it should? Guess what? your feelings don't make land cheap, labor to build housing cheap or get rid of burdensome government bs that makes things 10x more expensive than the should be.
Your entitled opinion doesn't make things affordable or change the fact that the people crying about how bad they have it in the US have it 100x better than previous generations and current generations around the world.
