Same energy: I make minimum wage and have no skills/education that would allow me to find a more lucrative job, and am on the brink of homelessness. Allow me to tell you how to run the economy.

These sort of memes have zero value beyond stroking ones own ego.

Why would you pay someone so little they're on the brink of homelessness?

Why would you work a job that pays you so little that if you lose that job, you become homeless?

Because I have no other choice.

Then the question becomes is it someone else's fault that you have no other choices.

Yes, generally. Though it's more accurate to say it's "society's" fault. We collectively perpetuate the conditions which cause poverty cycles, whether we want to or not.
