Are you saying that a family of four couldn't survive on 50k/yr in most of America? I
Deflecting, I see.
I imagine that with the help of EBT, Section 8 and Medicaid and they didn't own a vehicle. If your idea of surviving is having to use EBT, Section 8 and Medicaid.

You can do a victory lap if you wish, but it does not change facts and reality.
That really triggers the deranged, rabid left.
You are losing the argument so you are taking your ball and going home. Actually you lost the argument. Logic completely defies you.

I know for a fact that a family of four can survive with two parents working full time minimum wage jobs without help from the government. I have an uncle in Oklahoma that is proving it. They even own their own home and two vehicles. I know it is anecdotal but I am sure there are millions more just like my uncle and his family.

Sure. If doctors, educators, home/cars and lawyers will not rob their bank, they can survive in the socially segregated areas suited to their combined income. Colonial/second hand goods and food are relatively cheap. Everything else is expensive. The key is not to have any needs other than colonial goods and cheap foodstuff from Walmart. Some indeed get lucky in that regard.

You apparently don't know that the COL varies across the country. In some areas, housing is cheap. In other areas, no one working a minimum wage job can find any housing at all.

I'm not repeating myself 5X, it's a waste of time and I have work to do. The free market determines wages, not me, not your feels. And the free market determines that fast food is not, and never was a job for raising a grown ass adult and their family on. Overall, these jobs do more damage to the American people than they help. The food is literally poison, and we are forced to subsidize their underachieving workforce. Some people are there because it is the best they can do. I have no problem helping these people. I do have a problem with subsidizing otherwise healthy able body adults who can and should be doing more with their life.
The workers require EBT and other handouts to survive. The companies generally make these part time jobs. They are doing everything they can to tell their employees that they need to go out and find a real job if they expect to support a family on their own. If they choose to go on strike and demand $15, they are free to do so, I fully support that. But let's hear some of those reasons why they deserve it besides, "I need more money" or "life is tough". Did they ever stop to think that the customers are not going to pay $10 for a hamburger that should cost 30% that? No they did not because they are incapable of considering the needs of others, like their customers, many of which are not that well off either.

Free market is non existent abstraction it determines nothing. People with proper names do decide on underlings wages to maximize their profits by benefitting from the institutionalized wage slavery institution forcing workers to sell their arses or starve. As a rule wages are determined by owner's ideas about workplace hierarchy not by supply and demand. No changes in labor suply or demand will affect workplace hierarchy of wages, none. Thus free market bs is just that bs. What matters is social feel on who deserves what. Naturally our monkey hierarchical brain feels that people who can be forced to perform dull unsatisfying jobs with no agency or authority are low ranking subhumans who do not deserve much.
So your argument is that people working jobs that don't pay enough, should stop working those jobs and take up jobs that still don't pay enough? Interesting...
And the old people with age-induced problems... They should also take up those jobs that young & middle aged workers are breaking they're backs doing? Again, very interesting...
Nope... That is what you want it to say.
I said, Jobs people don't want to do, because WELFARE pays better.
