What is a living wage? I live in Tanzania and people get by on $50/month and live in mud houses. All of these people are alive and have been for some time. Similarly, I know some bums in LA whos only expenses are $5/gram weed. They live on the beach, chill in a tent, and are happy and alive. People in Western countries have such a distorted idea what is a living wage it’s patently absurd. It includes a tv, netflix, a cell phone, a car, apartment, computer, etc. Most people here in Tanzania would literally kill to make minimum wage in America. It would seem like paradise, a life of extreme luxury. Americans are so myopic and don’t seem to appreciate how lucky all of them are. There’s no 99% in America: we all are the 1%.
