Loading ...I put that right in my post…
I said. “Unfortunately they are STUCK, can’t do it now.” @ 12:20.
You could compare it with people that smoke 3 packs a day, or people that drink heavily every day, or people that weigh over 300 lbs and can’t stop eating. They simply can’t stop until it maims or kills them. We have to wait for the economy to die. 🙂
Same with The minimum wage and maximum hours act of 1937. They were forced to create it AFTER the patient or economy died from prior bad habits. 1913 to 1929 printing presses.
As for those places where its allegedly “cheap” to live? Maybe I should not judge, only went to Fla twice. But my impression? Cheap is CHEAP.
For one, very few traffic lights. and or street lights. I remember every time we left the house, we had to cross a 4 lane highway with no traffic light. Or bridges to go over. Never saw one cop car. A local told me many hit and run accidents.
Lots of poor people. On way to home depot, a ratty old pick up truck loaded with scrap metals and a running problem. Taking off from the lite truck was bucking and cargo falling out the back. On the way home I see three guys pushing a disabled car along the shoulder.
P.S. If a realistic minimum wage was ever established, it would have to be different in every state of county. And can NOT be stated in Dollars.
It would need to be calculated by things like, local cost of a studio apartment, local cost of a 5-10 year old car, local cost of food, local utility cost etc. One size can’t fit the whole USA.
