@malwaretech It just makes no sense. What's the point of a minimum wage you can't live on, and transitively of any job you can't live on?

A livable wage should be the minimum lowest bar acceptable legally, certainly not some unusual benefit.

And a solution:

[The workers] ought to understand that, with all the miseries it imposes upon them, the present system simultaneously engenders the material conditions and the social forms necessary for an economical reconstruction of society. Instead of the conservative motto, "A fair day's wage for a fair day's work!" they ought to inscribe on their banner the revolutionary watchword, "Abolition of the wages system!"
