unfortunately, a huge Swatch of the population has completely lost touch with what minimum wage is meant to be.
It was never meant to be an alternative minimum pay for teenagers, and people just entering the workforce.
It was meant to provide a living wage. enough for housing, food, transportation, clothing, and a little bit left over to have some fun and go on vacation. those were the stated goals of the minimum wage when it was introduced.

Everything costs less in America, Like Australia perhaps move out of major cities to more affordable areas, Unfortunately while everyone wants to live in major cities it pushes demand for properties and prices for properties up as demand grows

Also we should be getting more than required to survive. We should want more. I don't want to make just enough to have to constantly worry about an emergency draining my meager saving or bankrupting me because I have no savings. I don't want to have to make every vacation a staycation because I literally can't afford to drive to the next state over for a few days.

You are correct. Shareholder profit is the priority. Look what Pepsi did with pricing. Doritos reach $7 a bag. Hershey removed chocolate from their products to make more money. No care for the actual quality of the products.

this is what Theodore Roosevelt said about minimum wage (Livable wage)
most include enough to secure the elements of a normal standard of living -- a standard high enough to make morality possible
they key here is "enough to make morality possible"

Minimum wage was intended to be the minimum needed for one income to support a family of 4, own a house and a car. Remember that everyone

back when they said you shouldn't spend more that 30% of your income on housing.... o wait 50% now since we will adjust the advice on what is fiscally responsible instead of the wage

They can’t increase wages because it will cut into their profit margins too much, and their investors might have to sell one of their 5 houses

Why are you quoting average rent and minimum wage? If you make minimum wage, find minimum rent.
