Machinists may be unionized in some places, but Texas is a right to work state, and afaik my father in law isn't in a union.
So your answer is that instead of asking for a livable wage everyone should just forsake urban centers and move to Bumfuck Texas? That isn't even logical. Someone has to be the manager at Safeway. Someone has to work the convenience stores, and all the rest of the shit jobs you may not want to do. The economy collapses without those people. And what happens when housing prices int hat are become out of reach of the average family? All the working class people should just move again!
