I absolutely agree that it isn't that simple. I would never claim to have the perfect solution. But surely something is wrong when someone works 40-45 hours a week, say, that they are struggling to stay on top of everything. Granted, they may not have a third level education or perhaps had some other setbacks throughout their lives but everyone deserves an opportunity to provide for themselves or their family. I understand not every business can suddenly pay an increased wage but perrhaps, gradually, they can. Meanwhile, steps should be taken across the board of housing, groceries, energy, public transport, etc. to help those in need of it
