I agree with personal responsibility here. But I don't think that negates critiques about living wages, especially from a self-billed progressive organization.

It looks like some positions are required in person - does anyone work there on HN? There is only one NY specific list on their jobs page right now that says remote/NY, but a lot others list specific cities, like San Fran which is expensive too - they say "San Francisco (remote for now)" I think this combo of Stimi, lack of/expensive childcare, and new automatic child support payments, has forced the debate on where the baseline of a living wage is. We're pushing past $15 minimum for even Burger King in some places right now. But employers are logically still loathe to pay more, they would rather pay signup bonus' than higher wages. If wages outpace inflation I'm all for it.
