Chamel Abdul Karim allegedly filmed himself burning a Kimberly-Clark warehouse in Ontario, CA. $750 million in damage. Ironically identical to what it would cost Kimberly-Clark to pay their 38,000 workers enough to live.
In human rights law, this is called structural violence. Institutions denying people what they need to survive, just as surely as physical force.
We criminalize Chamel’s response to that violence. We have not criminalized the violence itself.

@QasimRashid Taxes are one thing but there is also the law.
The minimal wage in CA is $16/h. This yields about ½ the livable wage for 160h/month for a single person.
Those fixing the minimal wage have also made this choice. -

(Note the link to "60% of Americans..." is down)
I feel like that data is really the center of this whole phenomenon and it's probably important to state this as it really is. This is most Americans.
5% is "some Americans"
25% is "many Americans"
60% is "MOST Americans"...At some point, you don't need to use percentages any more. This isn't some fractional representation, it's most.
Most Americans don't have a savings buffer. Most Americans can't afford even basic healthcare costs under ACA. Most Americans can't afford to live.
Percentages are just a weak proxy for the word MOST. A statistic hiding the actual political advantage.
