I agree, corporate executives SHOULD be on food stamps. They should earn well below minimum wage.
If you're not passionate about upper level management get the fuck out.

So I am sure she is willing to be the one to take the unlivable wage then?

Robots. That's how.
Oh hey princess privilege has an opinion on the poors.
Nice now do landlords
Didn't even explain. Keep them struggling just because.
Maybe these terms mean something different to y'all but in NZ Living Wage is considerably higher than the minimum wage. And you definitely can live on minimum wage, but not well. I'd definitely expect making icecreams to be a minimum wage job. For reference NZ minimum wage is $23.15 ($14.25 US) Living wage is $26 ($16.01 US) . What's a US living wage?

Someone play Devil's Advocate and give us a workable argument for a society where people can't live off any single job. I'm not one to shy away from arguments and perspectives I don't agree with. It's important to understand both sides.
The usual argument is that those jobs are for teenagers or some shit. Nevermind the fact that teenagers have very limited working hours (can't exactly get that chicken strip basket at lunch on a workday if only teens are working there). The other part of the reasoning is something along the lines of wanting to "motivate" people to move into other fields/jobs. But quite frankly, that's a stupid argument. I wouldn't want to work fast food again even if they were paying me the same money I make now. I would much rather work from home at a computer than deal with shitty people all day in a hot greasy environment.
as a dude who works from home from a computer but used to work in a kitchen, sometimes I miss it. It can be stressful, sometimes more stressful than a deskjob, but it's also contained. It's nice to clock out and not have to think about my progress on some work item or how I need to study up on some new tech.

A "functional" society is not the same thing as a society worth living in or supporting.
Corporatism with wage slaves working 80 hours a week in the most productive period of human history ever is functional, in that people are deliberately kept alive and productive as long as they don't get too uppity.
Sure, this makes the upper class obscenely wealthy at the cost of everyone else, but it does technically work. Lines do go up.
Just not the lines that should go up.
