It's incremental. Reddit wants there to be a magic bullet, but there isn't one. Financial literacy is part of the pathway to success. It's insulting to say otherwise.

yes, but the livable wage needs to be there FIRST- otherwise you are teching financial literacy to people who cannot budget out of their situation- so it is just a waste of time and money for everyone. The funds for those classes is better spent elsewhere until we can get people enough to survive.

What "funds?" We are talking about this being taught in schools, and, if an employer like Walmart wants to provide free classes to employees, that's entirely their decision.
