Wages should be high enough to cover the cost of life in America. But they aren't. And not everyone can build a brand, monetize a hobby, become an influencer, and grind until 2 a.m. We need real solutions.

Every evening my son brings his 6 foam swords and axes to the park and he organizes a group of assorted age children into two warring tribes. They then do his bidding and face off in battle. Slightly concerned and also slightly impressed.
