Happy in Nature User ID: 79768170 Nicaragua 01/23/2021 05:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Where others see poverty, I see privilege. According to givingwhatwecan.org her income places her in the top 3rd wealthiest people in the world. If you include the benefits she is qualified for, she’s in the top 17%. She has clothes with no holes, a cell phone, internet, transportation, medical care, a house with solid walls and no leaks, heating and air conditioning, can afford to not have to garden or hunt for her meals, access to a library and the internet for education, time on busses to learn, someone to help with the kid, indoor plumbing so she doesn’t have to haul water, conveniences like diapers, multiple rooms in her house, classy boots, a nice hairdo, jewelry... I can go on. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76878051 The biggest improvement she might make is following the USDA’s guidelines on groceries. She can cut her food bill in about half by following their simple recommendations, and feel better/be healthier at the same time. Second biggest improvement is to utilize all the time waiting on busses to read free books from the library or listen to their free audiobooks to gain the next step in her career, using that cell phone. If she wants to rise into the top 10% of income as most Americans earn, it is good to know she lives in a privileged nation and a privileged city. She can find someone working the job she loves and interview them to find out exactly what she needs to do to get into the same career. If it requires a college degree, she no doubt qualifies for free schooling, or a scholarship. But even jobs which say they require a degree will still hire the right person. I have no degree but my job usually requires a degree, and I am working. It is only because we live in a culture of greed that a low-skilled worker can earn the top 3rd richest income in the world yet be considered poor. You fail to take into consider the cost of living per country. A full time job at $7.50 hour brings $15,600 before taxes. With one dependent, a full time minimum wage earner brings home $ 14,101.60, or $1,175 per month, excluding insurance. Any hospital visit requires co-pays. Her subsidized root canal would still require 25% of a ft monthly salary. She likely has some form of medicaid copay or insurance cost deducted from her check. In Detroit, 1% of apartment rentals are $500 or below. 22% average between $500-$700. The average 1 bedroom rental is $1400. The average electric bill in the US for a 1 bedroom apartment is $60. In Detroit, the average monthly utility bill (water, electricity, heat) for a one bedroom apartment is $160. Most municipal water supplies are barely potable. Many people spend $20-$40 for clean drinking water. A monthly bus ticket in Detroit is currently $60. Internet/cell phone: $57. $500 rent (if you live in a slum) $160 utilities $60 bus fare $57 phone and internet = $777 One is left with $400 to cover food for a parent and child, cleaning supplies, clothing, laundry, insurance copays, fresh water, child care, school supplies, repairs, etc. If the renter cannot find the slums and has to pay $700 a month, they are left with $200 for food, insurance, clothing, laundry, etc. The person has no life. No entertainment, no birthday or Christmas for the kids, all clothes from Goodwill, no toys or games unless they come from thrift shops and yard sales. No emergency cash if one loses their job or someone breaks into their place and steals stuff. The full-time minimum wage earner spends two days a week taking care of all of the stuff that couldn't be done in the week - laundry, cleaning, cooking, doctors appointments, shopping. If they are lucky enough to get a paid vacation, they have no money to go anywhere. This assumes that one can find affordable housing with access to public transportation and subsidized child care and insurance. Most jobs in the inner cities don't pay much above minimum wage. Bullshitt section 8 pays NO RENT! No UTILITIES AND THEY GET BANK ON FOOD STAMPS BECAUSE THEY are BELOW POVERY LEVER...you lie and are full of crap It isn't bullshit, you ignorant troll. That is the bare minimum it costs to live without public assistance. It is pretty much impossible for a single parent to survive on a full time minimum wage job without public assistance. |

In principle forced minimum wages are problematic, but you aren't addressing the real problem which is that America has sent all of its manufacturing jobs overseas so that they can simply export the dollar instead. There simply aren't enough jobs here for these people to ladder climb up to anymore. Everything you own is made in China. Even the sheetrock in your house is made in China. That is the problem. |

The father of the child is a bum she should have avoided. She had every opportunity to do well but chose to not do well. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77852475 That woman is very lucky to have American Privilege. Her and that child live better than 90% of the world even after she fails to do right by herself. Even now if she starts to make good choices she will do well. The only way to fail in America is to fail yourself. This video is a CNN production. CNN, who's news readers are orgasmic over the prospect of renewed illegal immigrant caravans busting our border. Who does illegal immigration harm the most? Low income Americans, especially in minority neighborhoods. Congratulations, CNN, for winning the Stupid Fucking Marxist award for today.

She's blessed she has her kid and she and her kid are healthy, she's blessed she gets food assistance and can pick out her own food, there's plenty of yummy food she can make stir frying rice, veggies and chicken, she can eat good every night, freeze left overs, she's blessed she has reduced housing costs, blessed she doesn't have to maintain a lawn and yard, she's blessed she has her own private house and that she is the master over her own kitchen, she is blessed she has reputable childcare and that her kid is entertained by them. She looks depressed because her man is incarcerated and she needs his support, she probably has little emotional support from genuine friends or family. Well, this is what it's like to be all grown up. She has everything she needs except true love- genuine friends and a genuine man that can be there for her. Good luck with that though, most people don't get to have that experience. Given the chance she'd run right over anyone just like all y'all do all across the U.S.A. when you make it big. Fuck.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74627479 United States 01/23/2021 06:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you watch that video... you can see that the government is subsidizing the housing costs of corporations and their low level workers because they are too cheap to pay a decent wage. Like any corporation, they are trying to maximize profit at all costs. You probably pay more in taxes for this lady to survive (because the money comes thru government bureaucracy which is no doubt more expensive and wasteful). It’s like would you rather pay a few more bucks for a hamburger or have high taxes which are wasted just to subsidize their actual cost of living. We need to start thinking about some of these things differently and not just our party’s ideology and rhetoric |

Do the math, stupid. They TELL you right in the video that she makes $240 every TWO weeks, which means that she is only working 16 hours a week, at $7.50 an hour. And based on the way that she talks and walks, I can SEE why she hasn't gotten a raise. She looks like about a $3 dollar an hour employee. |
