A "living wage" bundles the assumption that a single wage must pay for all your expenses in maintaining a predetermined standard of living and that there's no other possible arrangement that should be considered.

And that is, in fact, insane, as it's contrary to the experience of anyone who has worked two jobs, shared a flat, budgeted, or otherwise been creative in making ends meet.

"People deserve to be able to live comfortably on a single job at 40 hours a week."

"Nuh uh, some people have been creative and survived under the current system!"

"I'd like to work two low paying jobs that work around my lifestyle."

"Nope, because we care so much, your lifestyle is illegal."

Yep, if Uber pays $21 an hour, you can't possibly drive for both Uber and Lyft, or work a side-hustle. That will definitely be against the law.
