your grasp of statistics lets you down. US pay is distributed like this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/203183/percentage-distribution-of-household-income-in-the-us/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/203183/percentage-distri...
Given that education requires spare income, and spare time, how are you supposed to gain qualifications/training to allow you to up your income?
Assuming that everyone was able to become qualified, given the saturation in the market place of cheap, new people, how will that glut of supply increase media wage?
If you cannot earn, how are you supposed to save for "financial responsibility"?
You have a workplace accident, not your fault. Now you have huge hospital debt. This is coupled by inflation on fuel and housing. Minimum wage doesn't rise. how are you supposed to earn more?
- hairofadog 5y agoNot exactly on topic but the recent Netflix series Maid does an excellent job of making the viewer feel how difficult it can be to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. I almost hesitate to recommend it because everyone I know is so stressed right now and the series is so anxiety inducing, but if you’re someone like me who thinks rising tension is the heart of good storytelling, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Everything about it is excellent.
