What does increasing wages have to do with free money? Are you suggesting we should work for free? Earning money is entirely different.
And I paid my mortgage every month. No break for us.

Just arguing that many (not all) people aren’t choosing not to work because the pay isn’t good enough but rather that because they can’t be evicted while also receiving an additional $1200/month on top of various stimulus checks.
So we should get rid of those things first before we make the argument wages need to be lifted to incentivize people to work.
