These are fine sentiments, but wages have been stagnant for most low-paid workers for some time, and over half of the US falls into that category. They’re certainly not meaningfully rising in relation to the costs of housing and healthcare. The “lack of conveniences” you describe include things like access to grocery stores and medical care. The subsidies they receive from urban centers aren’t translating to material improvement for the vast majority of them, so you still have to square the circle of American geography, politics, and wealth concentration in its economy.
