When unemployment is not exploding

Being paid less is illegal.

Only on the paper

In pratice it happens a lot

To get into a college you need to be very educated too

@Mr. X in a environment such as theirs it's hard man

It happens a lot but if it does you can take your boss to court if they dont pay the proper amount

And in the us you will need money

Which they don't have

@Mr. X they don't have money to pay for good lawyers and many cases are just dismissed

So the best way to get out of poverty is not being a criminal but doing legal work.

And after that they lose he job

@Mr. X In many cases those people even have normal jobs

They just don't have enough money to feed themselves and their family

They don't do it out of greediness

If those people were given decent conditions they wouldn't resort to that

Because almost nobody wants to get involved with crime

Lawyers isnt the problem, the evidence should be, if the person has enough evidence for not getting paid enough he should not have a problem. And such jobs are local for people in poverty, so their bosses are likely poor like them too, but not as poor obviously, they'd have trouble getting a good lawyer too.

@Mr. X they would get a better one

Some do it out of greediness though

They could yes but it depends

There are good cheaper lawyers out there

Some of them do it of course but what's incetivated by the media and so on?

Moral greediness

And wouldnt the state provide you with one if you cant get one anyway?

And when people don't have means to realize it

They have to resort to other means to satisfy their artificial needs

It's a heavily psychological aspect

Crime brings journalists more money out of viewers and readers.

When you pressure a mass into thinking something while not giving the means to realize it shit goes down

@Mr. X the state lawyers in the us are known to be terrible

If they work hard they can live better, that Im confident of. Because many people in old days, even where I live struggled and worked hard and now achieved a lot of wealth.

They have to work in a ton of cases at the same time

They can't even analyze a case for a entire day mostly

So their performance is terrible

Still, it also depends on the level of poverty and the evidence

@Mr. X not always like this

My grandmother worked since she was 7

Im sure they'd win a case most of the time if being paid less was as common

While maintaining top grades in the class

For her entire student life
