> Not to mention the skyrocketing costs of college, increasing rent in a lot of major cities where jobs are, and the constantly increasing cost of healthcare.

I hear you but you are looking at it from a very skewed perspective.

Look at college - you don’t need it to gain a high level of education anymore. It’s still very useful to get into better jobs - but those jobs are paying way more than $10/hr.

Likewise where I’m from rents have been fairly stable for the past decade. The major cities with ever increasing rent have average jobs paying a lot higher than $10/hr.

On healthcare - it’s already been covered better by others here but it’s not a big concern.
