If case then every place paying a non livable wage should be ordered closed during school hours https://x.com/malcolmkenyatta/status/1932888221068747170?t=mpvyojooIwmJZgPnTzmbNA&s=19

Guess it depends what you call livable… We would be out of business with these wages in a hot minute, or more likely scale way back and quit hiring folks. https://livingwage.mit.edu/states/25

I think from a low wage career (all things agriculture fit this category ) it’s been a mighty long time since ag work created livable wage across the industry (think 1940s and “parity”) I don’t hit $30 an hour for myself tbh, definitely not if I paid myself overtime, we afford to live by working long, long hours, maintaining a low cost of living (circumstantial) - in our case signing a mortgage in 2013, wife raises the kids - which saved $$ on child care etc, and gov’t subsidized health insurance. We’ve always hired folks from three categories - young adults who live in shared housing, post college/college folks who are back at home, and rarely hs students. All of these are entry level and early stages of life, where a “livable” wage isnt the same as $ in traditional calculations.
