Exactly right.
People that work 40 hours per week shouldn’t have to rely on food stamps just to make ends meet. Their employers should be paying them a living wage.

Many countries have shorter workweeks, longer vacations, higher pay and a UBI, with things like healthcare, already paid for. They work less, have more money and don't have to struggle. 💵 You know, in the kinds of economies Americans are trained to believe are 'unfair.' 🤔🧐

Nobody should have to rely on food stamps, period.

Combined 60 hours. 3 kids. Don’t qualify for assistance.

40 hours per week doing what? The type of job will always affect the wage. Excluding this context is disingenuous.

Yes but how about tax breaks for small businesses so they can do that.

No, the government needs to stop spending and creating INFLATION and then taxes is to death on top of it. I hire people for a living, and people are making money that isn't worth what it was. Raising incomes isn't the problem, spending is.

It’s a shame that you will just support the same capitalist who create these conditions.
