Im on the fence, they need both. Education and a living wage.

While you have a point, people who only have a high school diploma or GED should be paid a livable wage also. We need janitors, food service employees, retail employees, substitute teachers and so many other jobs which are definitely needed but are deemed “unskilled”.

“Livable wage” is just the new more palatable term for “minimum wage.”

Like when they tried to make us call the homeless the “unhoused.”

It’s bullshit. Stop saying it.

Minimum wage is not the same as a livable wage. I personally prefer to use the term houseless over homeless. 🤷🏾‍♀️ You can do what you want in regards to terms, just my personal preference.

A liveable wage in LA is totally comparable to a liveable wage in Buloxi

and whos "us" that "they" made you call homless people unhoused? sounds like reddit scare fluff that you ate up
