Quoting: LunaticFringe Try to look for one who is worth more than minimum wage. Maybe you could learn something from them. what i learned from roommates is dont get a roomate I agree, although sometimes financial or other restrictions require you to have one. If you can at all AVOID it, of course, do. If you CAN'T, and absolutely MUST get a roommate, DO NOT ROOM WITH A BEST FRIEND, unless you've already lived together. I've seen more friendships torn apart by becoming roommates than anything else, except maybe money. This is so true. Never live with good friends. |

Quoting: BRIEF Yea Really ? like there are a bunch of career choices out there. Make your own, no one owes you a damn thing. the fallacy with that sentiment is this - if nobody owes me then I don't owe them. Fair enough. But in actual fact, the government says I owe them - merely to exist in the land I was born in. You would find that out as soon as you attempt to go into the woods on public land and build a shelter and raise some vegetables and hunt. In this way, the citizenry is held in a prison without bars. If you hold a man in prison then you have a moral obligation to feed him. |

If companies make less profit because of wages then all they will do is turn around and increase the price of their goods. All an increase in minimum wage is doing is causing inflation. |

Two or three people working minimum wage jobs could easily share a 2 bedroom apt. If you're wanting to live like the wealthy while doing a job that any teenager could do, it's not gonna happen. Fuck, you teatard! Yes, because people are always saying, "I work 120 to 160 hours a month"! It's per week! Get a clue! I can see why you are a perfect minimum-wage kind of person. I own my own business, fuckwad! I have for 9 years. I don't suck corporate dick like yourselves. You prolly suck your own dick, you corporate fag. |

Quoting: BRIEF Sure, tell that to the businesses/corporations that do not have to pay their employees more. MOST do not raise their employees wages. Don't be a corporate whore, no one likes a corporate whore. These employees are not slaves. They CHOSE to work for that amount. If they don't like it they can go work elsewhere or self-employ themselves. Or what about getting an EDUCATION where you can demand more money. You are such a whiner, OP. |

The hypothetical scenario posited by the article in question calculates the number of minimum-wage hours needed to make the rent payment based on the average cost of rent in each state. Nobody said that you'd have to work hundreds of hours each month just to pay the rent. |

Funny you didn't mention the other two Brief. Australia $16+ per hour. Canada $9.75-$10.30 Both of which are higher than our $7.25/hr and both of which currencies are higher than ours. So again why does that work for them but not the US? The answer is that inflation isn't immediate. There is a lag in the increase in money and the inflation that follows. During that time people can buy more stuff. So again. Why is every country on the planet with a growing economy raising their wages? You can't answer that because it proves you wrong. |
