When saying that a person cannot live on a given wage, are we automatically multiplying by 40 to calculate the total. There are a lot more than 40 hours in a week. Get a second job. The world doesn’t owe anybody anything.

Complete agree. Employment is a voluntary contract between two parties. A worker is always free to seek a better gig. The more value he brings, the better his bargaining position.
