This isn't worker exploitation. This is White People Bullshit. Are you seriously comparing a guy who does the equivalent of surfing 4chan all day to a DPRK farmer?
Every Asian, Black, Indian, and Mexican in a 2000-mile radius around either of us figured this out generations ago.
> Cost of living for a single person in a 1-bedroom apartment outside the city center is about $2200 a month. Guess what? After taxes, that's more than you earn working 40 hours a week at this job. The only thing your snarky comment proves is that the regional minimum wage is criminally low.
Save water, shower together.
2-bedroom apartments aren't much more expensive than that. Between two people, you're down to $1250 for rent. Each additional party halves it again. One simple trick to affordable housing!
But that involves having to cohabitate or share anything with other humans, something most people seem fundamentally incapable of these days. Roommates? Gross! Marriage? Never!
I've never been able to afford a 1-bedroom apartment in my life, and don't expect to. I'm not losing sleep over some guy getting paid $15 an hour to do a job requiring so little skill it could be performed while drunk not being able to afford the luxury of living alone.
