It seems you're implying that these min. wage workers are all young males capable of much more. There are a gazillion folks who aren't capable of doing more. So we should just pack 'em all in a big warehouse or something.... Maybe they could live in the back of McDonald's?
I manage a couple of low-rent buildings - - ~1/2 of tenants are on disability (mental/physical) & the other half that are working mostly are doing so at min.wage jobs. This building is probably the 2nd or 3rd cheapest in the entire town. These people can barely afford to eat. They should just all double-up & move in together... fk 'em! They should've just been born into a better social network with more supportive/healthy families. And for the ones who have physical ailments/chronic illness & are still trying to work... pff.. suck it up & get a job! Just work harder! or go to school... get some training!
