> This isn't a wealth inequality issue, it's a "you're overspending" issue.

Just so that I understand your position, you think the reason a cashier at McDonald struggles is because he is overspending on his rent? and not due to wealth inequality which causes low wages ?



> wealth inequality which causes low wages

This is a tautology. Low wages are caused by having skills which are in high supply and low demand.

At my local McDonalds you can make 60k/yr. So that sounds like a decent start.


What other people make has exactly zero bearing on your expenses.

Yes, if a Mcdonalds employee is struggling, it is almost without exception 100% his own fault.
