This thread is chock full of idiots who would vote to lower their own wages because of a spectacular misunderstanding of how inflation works.

Either that or trolls looking to encourage others to fight against raising their own wages.

Either way, it's sickening.

Not a real solution, we must get laws to really regulate renting. I can't deny the dream for me would be to outlaw renting entirely if not for particular reasons, and pushing for more reasonable mortgages + government help to buy a first home

So, honest question that comes of my own ignorance. Is a minimum wage supposed to be livable? I always figured minimum wage jobs were for people like teens who didn't need to afford housing.

How do you know teens don't need to afford housing? Many do.

Wouldn't raising minimal wage just raise prices higher without dealing with the underlying problems?
