Raising a child costs between $13k[2] and $35k[1] per year in the USA – depending on where you live and who you ask.
With a minimum wage job ($7.25/hr) you need to work about 5 to 13 hours per day to make that much – before taxes.

It has everything to do with it as you are very insistent on underpaying people for some reason.
Strawman
Some people are not valuable enough as workers to get paid a living wage, what do they do for employment or income?
1 1 ReplyDefine ‘not valuable enough’ and I’ll answer you.
3 0 ReplyMeaning they dont bring in enough money or value to justify the amount they earn.
1 1 ReplyAnd how do they do that?
2 0 ReplyIts actually more of what they dont do than what they do.
If you didnt eat breakfast yesterday, how would you feel?
1 1 ReplyNo. Give me concrete examples, please.

Some obvious examples would be someone with a mental disability that cant do work very well.
1 0 ReplyAgain the vagueness. ‘Can’t work very well’. Define that. Are we talking someone who’s not mentally apt enough to do NASA rocket science but still can ring up groceries just fine? Are we talking someone wheelchair-bound so they can’t stock shelves? What level are we talking here? Because those people could still do jobs and earn a living wage.
1 0 ReplyIf you are not able to get it by now, then I dont think its worth me explaining it again.
1 1 ReplyNo, you’re just being purposely vague for some reason. And you really want to pay people substandard wages for some reason.
But if you legit can’t come up with any concrete examples and have to fall back on things like eating food, then fine, we can end the discussion.
2 0 ReplyYes I am being vague because there are many different ways people cant be worth their cost, and you dont get it because you dont understand business and are not able to do basic logic tests.
