@dustinschreiner2: PLEASE DO NOT HARRASS THIS CREATOR! I recorded this video with the intention of replying to a young woman at a Bar in Temecula, who recorded herself asking where everyone is on a Saturday night. Before I could finish my video it had been taken down which is a shame because she asked it in earnest, even if the questions was misguided and out of touch it shouldn't have elicited a response that would make her take it down. I went searching for "empty bar" and came across essentially the same situation so for the sake of not completely altering my intro I decided to use her video. #bar #emptybar #nightlife #livingwage #capitalism #poverty #povertywages #drinks #rulingclass #eattherich @🍭🍭

I have a bachelors degree in Biology with Chemistry and Psychology minors. I graduated in the top 10% of my college class and am a member of the same honor society Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Hillary Clinton, and many more are on. I make less than $20 an hour. I’m a brain cancer scientist 👩‍🔬 I barely scrape by taking care of myself and paying my kids insurance.

what's crazy to me is when you suggest moving away from capitalism in any way, even minor changes many of the same people accuse you of having "lunatic" leftist ideas. So many people in the labor force have been conditioned to thinking that working well over 40 hours is not only normal but something to brag about. They don't seem to realize that they're being taken advantage of.

The federal minimum wage has not moved since I graduated high school. And then our parents wonder why we can’t afford anything.

Disposable income sounds like an oxymoron. 😭

what throws me off is the estimate for 2025 entry to middle class is around 125k yet the poverty line is still at 30k. the bottom of middle class means sustainability, if you're below that # you're still technically impoverished. obviously based on locality, age, assets, etc. people that bought a house in 1992 saying 40k is poverty "becayse im fine with 40k" just means you already paid off your mortgage. and have drastically less income going straight into bills.

I would argue that in most places I've lived in the last 8-ish years (East and West Coast, mostly in the South), $25/hr isn't even a living wage.

I think you might like the videos Mr. Justin Scott makes. He mentioned nixing the idea of a "livable" wage and demand a "dignified" wage and that really stuck with me.

My dad worked a blue collar job and was able to support a family of 5, a house on 2 acres, 2 cars, and various pets. We definitely lived in scarcity but it was possible. I make 3.5x fed minimum wage and I'm not going to bars because groceries are basically a luxury.
