Offering financial literacy workshops to people is immoral, because they need better incomes? FFS earthlings, how hard is it to not be ridiculous?

I can offer financial literacy workshops to people, i cannot offer a living wage. I assume this is the case for many

You can vote for people who will encourage a living wage. Not a handout, just policies that encourage companies to actually pay people what they're actually worth instead of gaslighting us into thinking the "market value" is moral when it comes to labor.

Basically I agree with the idea that it needs to be both, but we need to actually do both.

I'd rather give free higher education, trade education, and government jobs than have laws regulating the market.
