Why do you guys bother trying to argue? People who make these topics and agree with them are usually of the following groups:
-people who are just trolling -deluded idiots who believe right wing propaganda and won't be convinced -very privileged people who are also deluded and don't understand how the real world works.

Honestly, fuck anyone who says money can't buy happiness.
You can find happiness in things that don't cost money, sure, but ask yourself how much you can really enjoy your life if you constantly hit walls in what is available to you because of how much you earn. I personally am okay with most of my life because I make enough to be happy and I will say right now a lot of that is due to how little I have to think about what I want to buy before I buy it. --- Solid Sonic + 2 punch buttons ...

If you're not paying someone a living wage for full-time work, you're exploiting them. You're actively perpetuating their poverty. I don't think that should be allowed.
