    I mean, I make about the same and struggle to afford my house and two cars in California. My wife doesn’t work and we have a second baby on the way.

    I wonder if this further incentives taking unsavory money?

    I feel like they should get paid some function of minimum wage, to incentivise the lifting up of all workers instead.
