Wouldn't be great to just sign a law that says we won't have impoverished people And also, that's not the point of minimum wage. If that was the point, we would just lower the poverty line to minimum wage

Minimum wage simply supports a basic quality of life. No extras no anything, assuming you find a cheap place and are not wasteful whatsoever that is minimum wage

Except poverty means you cannot support a basic quality of life.

Poverty actually means lacking in things. I never said you'd live comfortably and I never said you'd have extra money but minimum wage is calculated by how much it takes to just get by and not a penny more.

Here's a tip: If you can't live off of minimum wage, find a job with a higher salary. If you can't find a job with a higher salary, you're not looking hard enough. If you don't meet the qualifications for a job with a higher salary, then do something to meet them. If you tell me you can't change something about you to meet the qualifications, then change your attitude. If you can't change your attitude, then get back to your minimum wage job and shut up.
