In the case of young single unemployable males, I presume is what you mean.

Shall we discuss our system of education next?//

Actually, given that many of them, while single, have managed to perpetuate the status quo by fathering children, then the minimum wage does apply since they often benefit from the proceeds of the child’s and mother’s minimum wage.

None of the above is intended to suggest that males are the only category referenced.

You presume wrong. Extended unemployment insurance has been cut back, especially in red states. In a lot of demographic and geographic areas, there are no jobs. Fathers, including divorced fathers, come up short—there is no baby daddy funding out there.

Drop by a free clinic or church mission sometime—there are some capable ex-yuppies there.
