Isn't minimum wage also half that?

this is sustainable because we let them do it to us

Minimum wage here in Alberta, Canada remains $15/hr. CAD and hasn't changed since 2018. That's eight years. Absolutely insane now that I've looked it up, fuck me. And of course the UCP will never do anything that might help a struggling person.

And here you see the purpose in the design.

I remember in 2007 I would have to work two hours for a pack of smokes or a gallon of gas working in fast food. 0/10 would not recommend.

That's the neat thing, it isn't for us.

My boss makes a dollar, I make a dime,

This rhyme comes from a different time,

My boss makes a dollar, I make a cent,

That's why I can no longer afford rent.

That's why they need to work two jobs at closer to 60 or more hours per week, no weekends off, in order to have anything at all.

And any positions that are paying minimum wage aren't hiring full time for those positions, that means more than one job which increases transportation costs and reduces free time.

Young people just don’t understand saving, and how your options expand after saving even just a little bit. Use this post as an example - if you put that $100-130 away every month, in about 6 months you can afford a gun. This gives you a lot more opportunities.

The federal minimum wage is $7.25, something like 20 states don't pay a higher wage.

... and many are paid much, much less than that, like working prisoners, making less than a dollar an hour.

... and also many farm workers are paid much, much less than federal "minimum".

Millions of people. The more you look, the more people you will find making laughable wages.

Also, do you really NEED sleep?

I wish my bills were that low.

how is it sustainable? it's not. and that's by design. American politicians and billionaires want it this way. they want the divide. the more poor you are the more likely you are to serve them. slavery never disappeared from the US. the 'American dream' has been dead for decades.

Where is rent 1200? Maybe with 2 roomates.

And $15/hr is roughly twice the Federal minimum wage.

Well... It's not sustainable for the person making $15 an hour, but it's certainly is for the person paying that person $15 an hour and I think that those are the only people that we should be caring about.

Listen you got to work 6 days a week and go to church on Sundays. That's how it's supposed to work. That extra 20-30 bucks you get at the end of the month, collection plate.

Then you can die quietly at 55 and somebody can take your place.

/S obviously.

Minimum wage isn't $15 an hour.

It's not meant to be sustainable. Capitalism is about cheating your fellow men out of their munnies so you have more.

That's why we need Scientific Socialism

And that is more than double minimum wage in the US ($7.25/hour)!

Federal minimum is still $7.25

We need to start taking to the streets my friends and just take what you need. Fuck corporate America. I’m gonna take what I want and throw what I think it’s worth on the counter on the way out. Who’s gonna stop me. I need food and clothes for me and my kids. You gonna fucking stop me? The fucking guy checking receipts gonna stop me? No it’s gonna be the Karen bitch that voted for trump and I’m gonna Sparta kick that hoe out my way
