You're going back in time and attaching a term called living wage to what was always simply a competitive wage

Finish the thought.
Years ago, competitive wages were living wages.
Now, competitive wages are not living wages.
Fun fact, both wages might even have been minimum wage!
But the minimum wage, having lost half it's value to inflation over the past thirty years, is not a living wage any more.
The minimum wage increase on April 1,1990 was to $3.80.
Using CPI, that's more than today's minimum wage.
$9.84 adjusted for inflation, vs $7.25.
It should be a private matter. None of anyone's business.

Really, disease carrying unvaccinated immigrants should be a private matter, none of anyone's business?
You must think you're stupid.
