Why do you think that people who work forty hours a week shouldn't be able to do something as simple as rent a room and pay basic living expenses, board cuckold?
"Housing has become so expensive in the United States that the typical minimum wage worker cannot afford rent, according to a new report.
There is no state, county or city in the country where a full-time, minimum-wage worker working 40 hours a week can afford a two-bedroom rental, a report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition showed.
A full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a one-bedroom rental in only 7% of all US counties — 218 counties out of more than 3,000 nationwide..."

When you gonna stop mooching off mommeh & daddeh?
Your "job" is to up other people's computers, ducks.
Who makes minimum wage?
Then why are people getting paid minimum wage during school hours dumbass
derp
but it comes from the government.
Man, I thought I would totally live off my $3/HR job from 1985.
You connecting dots yet, board cuckold?
This is more about housing prices than minimum wage.
you were absent the day they were distributing IQ points, weren't you?
the f.ing republicans who are trying to maintain wages as low as possible and give as little benefits as possible are now claiming that they care about them? Yeah, right.

the serious question is
"Who make less than (still unlivable) $15/hour"
If median income had tracked growth in national wealth, the median would be $100K instead of $50K
Wages should be higher, obviously, but there's no reason why some one bedroom roach infested apartments with crumbling infrastructure in ty neighborhoods should be 1k+ a month. Rent is absolutely out of control.
This. When I was in college not even a decade ago you could rent a 2 bedroom house for $900 a month and split the cost with a roommate….now there’s basically no way to rent for below $1k a month.
Make that 3k here in LA...
We've got a bunch of wannabe Chips and Joannas adding bloat to perfectly good houses so they can flip them for a profit, then we've got rental management companies making it easy to own several houses all over the country and generate income without lifting a finger from a landlord perspective. We need even more incentives for building low-income housing and we need to disincentivize professional flipping.
And now you have hedge funds like Blackstone buying up suburban housing everywhere, which is a recipe for disaster in the long run.
These imply some sort of regulation, some sort of government intervention.
This just wont do. Kings gonna be kings...
Capitalists proposition: you want shelter? pay me
