Agreed, I have never understood this type of logic that seems to justify their desire for more money.

If I can survive in LA alone on $19k, you and your family can do fine with $66k. You just want health insurance...

66k doesn't typically include all the costs of operating a business, safety from people with parasocial relationships, etc. which this person has to carry.

But yes, I'd also argue that it is a much broader problem in the US.
