Since the cops often troll the walmart I go to , yeah.


Point is people shouldn't have to do illegal things just to get a place.
Minimum wage needs to be raised so people who haven't been to college can live too.

Minimum wage shouldn't be designed to live on, but it actually is. Scroll up. $1000 a month is what minimum wage pays.

Here I can break it down easy:
Rent a room in a house or split rent: $500
Utilities split: $75
Cell phone that isn't verizon or AT&T: $50
Cheap as fuck car with insurance: $200 at most
Food and toiletries etc: $175

That is not impossible. And that's the bare fucking minimum. Make $10-12 an hour and it goes up exponentially. And that's assuming only 40 hours per week. If I were in a pinch Id be working jobs 60 hours a week.

If you think life is hard in America you simply have a limited perspective on what hardship really is and need to get out more.

when people think that min wage needs to be raised so they can live, its because they want more than the basics...
