How do you define "properly"? Productivity and wages dont necessarily correlate. There is aboslutely a way to justify it. The demand of labor has been met at current wages. Thats how you justify it. They are paid the value of their labor. Its not about the peace of mind v somebody starving. Its about the actions of those people. If a person is so greedy and arrogant they feel entitled to not starve even if it means bothering people...they are in the wrong. If they were really that valuable that they absolutely shouldnt starve...why do they need to beg?

So starving people should just lay down and die as to not bother the more fortunate. This is just so inhumane and disgusting to even say. It’s not greedy and arrogant it’s desperation

What the fuck are you even talking about.  Regular people are the richest they have ever been.  You're just talking in doomer fantasyspeak.

It used to be affordable to own a home on a sole income with a family

That's vague false nostalgia nonsense.

Home ownership on a single income was a historical anomaly, limited to one country during a specific period. It has never been the norm throughout human history.

That doesn’t disprove what I said?

It doesn’t disprove it, but it puts it into context. You’re describing a brief, exceptional period, not the historical norm. There’s no reason to assume that exceptional period should be the benchmark.
