    Because this is the stupidest comment ever

    Pay everyone a wage that they can live on, at the minimum.

    To be clear, as well, I am in the information technology sector and make $150/hr (calculated from my salary). So if people want to bust their ass to learn skills, it still works out well.

    Welders, plumbers, electricians, etc. can make way more than $20/hr

    Again. Stupid boomer fucking comment.

      Lol yeah in my state plumbers bill out at like 90 an hour and electricians at like 100. (Pre pandemic for what it’s worth). I get that it doesn’t all go to the tradesman but that’s still a good hourly rate
