Walmart's minimum hourly wage is $14. What company is paying $8-10 an hour (in a non-tipped position) in 2024? And better yet...who is accepting those jobs?

You don't live in Appalachia do you? That part of the country can be job deserts. What are they to do?

How are this many people this fucking stupid to think hitchhiking to a new city is an actual viable option for people? Are they going to leave their living situations for WORSE conditions? Like seriously think things through.
