Poultry plants are not typically located in major metropolitan areas. The cost of living in the rural areas they’re located in is much lower than your figures.
We have a poultry/pig processing plant in town that pays $14/hr starting. Which is less than 2 x the minimum wage. Which isn’t even remotely close to a living wage in any neighboring counties 2 deep at least. I eat at a restaurant where a guy works his second job that he needs to survive. According to him (I can’t nor do I care to confirm) he lives with his girlfriend and two roommates, the roommates also all work at the same facility and also all have 2nd jobs.

How are you still arguing? He basically obliterated you with facts. Holy crap.
He didn’t. He provided a bunch of numbers, yes, but they aren’t related.
