You must be living under a rock if you think the price of gas or food hasn't changed recently, or that $50k is easy for a family to live on in the US. Or that the price of gas is currently caused by high wages.
And no, I don't live in a major city where rent is $4k.

I agree. We should kick out whichever government caused the gas and food prices to rise so high.

Sure. And regardless, companies shouldn't be allowed to pay immigrants on restrictive visas below market rate.

Yes I think companies should be able to hire anyone and at same conditions to all. At least in IT, I don't see country demarcations as much of an issue until it is artificially made into an issue.
> I know families making low six figures who are struggling financially because the cost of living is so high now, especially food, gasoline, healthcare, and housing.
Let's be very honest here: the only two in there that have massively increased are housing (due to the aforementioned non existent wage suppression) and healthcare (because america can't into healthcare). Families making 50k do more than fine when it comes to food and gasoline, merely because they don't have 4k of rent to pay.
