- ITB 3y agoLifestyle costs will always escape minimum wage because it’s such a huge lever that the entire economy gets propped up on higher min wages. The only way around it is for people to after jobs that earn a premium to minimum wage. I don’t think the bottom of the economic scale will ever be a pleasant please to be at.
- falcolas 3y agoI don't believe I'm talking about some kind of special lifestyle. I'm talking about living. As in being able to have a roof, sufficient nutritious food, heating, transportation, even some basic entertainment, all without having to hold multiple jobs.
