No, because I don’t think minimum wage is enough to survive in a lot of places.
That's how they get you to work multiple jobs for more hours to extract further value. If you are surviving then you are being paid the value of your labor power or being subsidized by family.
Exactly my point it should be high enough so that people can live
No you're missing the point, minimum wage does neither
And minimum wage should be at living a life level, but there still needs to be a minimum and a maximum cuz we can't give all work the same reward
Not with that attitude.
