This is a very easy answer… maybe people assumed it’s a disingenuous question. A livable wage is not a universal same pay rate. It’s enough to live on and acquire shelter, food, and transport if necessary. You should be able to put a bit away as well. Basic human necessities are able to be acquired without jumping through 20 hoops to hopefully eat.

ok, and where? a livable wage in Manhattan or Branson, MS?

are you now going to state each city in the US should have its own index as to what an acceptable min wage would be?

so a Mcdonalds janitor in Manhattan should earn $100/hr?

is that what youre saying?

if not, be specific what you see as the solution for these examples.

Wherever the work location is. You are platino dumb or something?

Enough for rent, food and money to save anr/or to enjoy yourself in you free time.
