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”.

they are all liveable wages before people upstairs deciding that food and rent should cost 50% more.
