@handyandy saidI don’t know about ‘Living wage, is that a phrase that Bernie started using instead of minimum wage? Why the confusion.?
The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. Many states also have minimum wage laws that provide for higher amounts and a qualified worker is entitled to the higher amount.
I think we all agree that $7.25 is not a living wage.
The post that was quoted here has been removedCould you rephrase this? Don’t follow.
@sonhouse saidThat is true. Of course in that pay-range, folks naturally live in less expensive places, (and less-expensive cities) , maybe sharing rent with roommates, while saving money for their future, which savings grow, leading to ability to live where ever they want to as the years go on.
@AverageJoe1
That rent in San Fran at 4500 a month works out to 25 dollars an hour with a full time job. That would leave me 5 bucks an hour for everything else.
Even 30 an hour is worthless in San Fran.
@sonhouse saidThey can’t. I do say above “ move to another state”. San Fran is most expensive city in country. Move away. Dayton, Louisville, Omaha, Greenville SC. have nominal living expenses. And stay in south to have less chance of the overwhelming liberals.
@AverageJoe1
well for 16 odd dollars an hour that is about 2800 a month. Tell me how someone can live in San Fran if the rent is 4500 a month?

@handyandy saidSlaves had no choice. Not to casually compare such metters, but on the other hand, you can hardly compare the work force of America to slaves, now can you? You are off the track as usual.

@averagejoe1 saidI agree, if being "off the track" means disagreeing with a contemptuous right-winger like you.

@handyandy saidO yeah?!?!? Why, if i saw you coming I would hide my wallet under a seat cushion! My elbow is actually sore from doing that every time a liberal approaches.
