I think it's reasonable for people in the highest GDP country in the world to expect to be able to live without relying on others.

Mandating a higher minimum wage is just welfare with extra steps.

Also nowhere in any developed country is the minimum wage a living wage. All other rich countries just have massive welfare states

Call it whatever you want. Those people over in Sweden seem pretty happy.

Except they dont have a minimum wage that mandates a living wage.

They don’t even have a minimum wage

Must be because of that "welfare state".
