If I may ...
The problem is the no one can keep up with the rising costs, of
everything. A feeling of what's the point when a person can't get ahead, even at $25/hour. At $1000/40hr/week, after taxes, FICA, etc, there is what left? $750, if? If someone wants to move out of their parents house, to rent, even a simple one bedroom, they're looking at $1200-$1400 a month plus utilities. Then high car insurance rates. They would have to work at a minimum, 2 1/2-3+ weeks get to have a place to live and a way to get to work. Which does not include eating and clothing and everything other normal life necessities. And if they want to buy a house? Out of the question, at least around here.
It's not your fault that you can't pay more. All that trillions of dollars magically being printed by the feds isn't making to the producers, (only to Wall Street and the speculators with no skin in the game), to pay the necessary higher wages to keep the economy running to give the people a reason, and confidence, to actually go, and want to work.
