Boss gives them the raise because the show the budget and just figures everyone else should suffer

Why are you comparing them to the average? The overwhelming majority (78%) have an advanced degree and +20 years of experience

Look, obviously a “Let’s make them live on an average American’s salary!” wouldn’t happen because none of them would genuinely accept.
But instead, let’s do a “Let’s take an average American family and give them a boost up to 174k a year for a year, and watch what they do differently!”
It could be fun and joyful. There’d probably be some weirdos who will buy like, two semi-fancy cars immediately and negate the bonus entirely, but a lot of families will be like, “I caught up on our medical debt! I was able to put a down payment on a house finally, and lower our monthly expenses! I bought an exotic lizard I’ve wanted since I was five!” (this is better than cars somehow though.)
Anyways I think it’d be fun and worthwhile. I mean, the entire premise of the show, the fact that you’d need to *give* the average american family so much to bring them up to this level that these people are saying is unliveable… It throws in their face how hypocritical they’re being. But in a fun, wholesome way that I’d love to see.
