How Many MINIMUM WAGE Hours Does it Take to Afford an Apartment in Your State? | |
strikeforce1 User ID: 3172567 United States 02/14/2013 06:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey AC, Quoting: MuzzleBreak The rent is per month, so the hours would be per month also, not per week. 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. Paper routes don't count. Fail. •*¨¨*•-:¦ Mahamedus erat porcus agricola ¦:-•*¨¨*• |

Quoting: MuzzleBreak Well sorry but that's just not fair. Everyone should get paid equally for their work, because everyone contributes to everything that everyone benefits from. And it's all thanks to the government. Ain't nothin fair dipshit. Be productive or die. that is the world we live in. Ask the zebra if he thinks it is fair that the lions have claws and teeth. this "that aint fair" bullshit should have been slapped out of your mouth by the time you were 5. |

We are letting the darkness grow because we have been duped. Our lives are not as they should be. We are allowing the evil to control us. Jesus pointed us in the right direction. The answer to the worlds problem is not in economics, politics or bleeding heart humanitarian movements, it begins with a search withing yourself a search for love and peace and beauty and it takes practice and fervent devotion to reach that place, but it is not beyond us. Jesus gave us a helping hand how many of us are really taking that hand. Before you start I am not a new age idiot or a religious nut. I am a broken man who has had to see things that way because everything around him has crumbleed. It crumbled because I kept asking for the hand but never took because of fear and whatever else. I know I am talking in riddles but that is the only way I express it. Quoting: Ozi dude 34405469 |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31189143 hmmm interesting it is also a great barometer of the social misfits that think we owe them something. We do not piss away money and party it away. therefore we can still pay our bills and be able to afford time to research the enemy. |

Many people earning minimum wage or even several dollars above can't afford one on their own. Many in Colorado have to team up and have several room mates to afford to live. |

Obviously sub-humans wich cheapness they can profit every day Excellent post. No, it isn't. Where does it say we are entitled to anything? We aren't. These people took these jobs and should be thankful they have them if they didn't educate themselves for anything more. But if you haven't trained for anything above minimum wage then a person shouldn't complain. They could get busy and get themselves trained for something instead of complaining. And Brief never called anyone subhuman. |

Quoting: BRIEF Adjusted for inflation from 1960 til now minimum wage should be $16/hr. So what was good for teenagers in 1960 is good as a minimum wage today. So yes you are correct. But it doesn't change a thing. I seem to see countries that are raising their wages have higher growth. Australia, Canada, China. And countries that have stagnant wages having stagnant growth. United States, United Kingdom, Germany And countries that have shrinking wages in recession. Portugal, Spain, Greece. Any way you slice it. I'm right. [/ not right at all.your talking a more than 10 fold increase in pay.apartments in my area chicago have gone up about 8 fold.and areas/countries that are bomming always see an increase in pay.when the economy slows down wages drop.all you crybaby fucks that went to school and are so enlightened should have learned a real skill.there are 1000s of jobs if you got the skills. |

Actually, I first had "Teabilly Fucktards" but decided to take out the fucktard, though still very valid. Hmmm... you say it like it's an insult. Most teabillies I know can afford an apartment. You fry salting occupiers are the ones with the problem. Nah, won't help. Most of the occupiers are trust fund babies, or, at least, from well-heeled parents. Don't know about the teabillie thing. Sounds like another libtard parrot (no insult meant to parrots). |

Its just amazes me how as a general rule humans are unkind and unsympathetic to each other, as if they where independent entities that needed no one and lived in a planet of their one. People dont make minimum wage because they want?!?! WTF LOL. The Dalai Lama states that all humans have the genuine and legitimate desire to be happy, nobody wants to be sad, or angry, how we go about it is what makes the difference. So following this train of logic, yes, lack of degree, poor nutrition when children, no access to real education, having to work way before their time given their family needs, abusive families, an alcoholic father that beat the crap out of you, etc, etc, will all have to do with how much money someone makes, ie, causes and conditions. Who wants to be poor?, nobody :). [link to www.dharmaweb.org] |

Washington: 80 Hours - TWICE as much a Full Time Oregon: 71 Hours California: 130 Hours Idaho: 71 Hours Nevada: 92 Hours Utah: 77 Hours Arizona: 85 Hours New Hampshire: 106 Hours - Connecticut: 114 Hours NEW YORK: 136 HOURS MARYLAND: 137 HOURS NEW JERSEY: 138 HOURS - 98 HOURS over FULL TIME What part of this are you Teabilly NOT getting?! Are you brainwashed or just dumb?! You're implying these people pay their rent weekly. So this is saying (based on $7.25 per hour minimum wage (higher in many states like california) that in Washington they are paying (80 Hrs * $7.25 * 4.33 weeks per month) $2,511.40 for their apartment. I'm guessing you mean they work 80 hours to pay for their monthly rent which means they make $1,255.70 and pay $580 for their rent. That seems legit. i made 900. a month @ 8.00 per hour my hotel room for child and I is 700. utilities wifi included but I have bugs yuck and they dont pay rent |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 23657849 United States 02/14/2013 07:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | funny that all the tards bitching about minimum wage are likely the same tards that sat by as their pols allowed 15 million illegal immigrants into the country to dilute the workforce. Want better wages? Send the illegals back out of the country and watch US wages go up, up, up. You made this bed, libtards. Now, eat your fucking minimum wage peas! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33931923 Libtards? Republicans are just as responsible for the mess of illegals in this country. I'm sorry to break it to you, but Ronald Reagan made the bed. Reagan gave amnesty to illegals back when he was president. Bush continued the mess. Our present republican congress keeps voting against dealing with the illegals problem and sending them back. Wealthy republicans don't want to give up their cheap wage slaves. I'm afraid that this is a wings of the same bird issue. |

We dont live in a high cost city we live in a small town of 8,000. The cost of living is just so dam high after mortgage, utility's, we are left with less than 400$ for food and anything else. People that work minimum wage here cant afford to live in an apartment and if they do they are sharing it with 5 other people and still working 2 jobs. Here in Canada the economy has risen 100% in the last 30 years yet wages have only gone up 13% once your working paycheck to paycheck its extremely hard to get ahead. why should some of the hardest working people never get to enjoy the fruit's of their labor? Get a better job you say sure, sure that's an easy lazy answer but some one has to do those jobs right? so they should be payed fairly and to a point that meets our current costs of living or the costs of living need to drop significantly but that wont happen when their are higher payed people willing to pay the cost in tern the rich make the poor suffer because they are willing to pay the price the poor can not afford. |
