tamorapierce:songofsarcasm:breelandwalker:rotifers:etherealspacewitch:fatanarchy:Good luck affording a place to live. Forget being able to fucking eat “healthy” like you’re “supposed to” (aka, morally obligated to).in hawaii, you have to work 2 more hours in a week than exists in a week to pay rentAnyone who puts in an honest 40 hours of work per week, regardless of the skill level of the job, ought to be paid at least enough to keep a roof over their head and afford vital expenses like food and health care. This country has betrayed the working class, and it’s absolutely inexcusable.Putting this out there for all the assholes who don’t think minimum wage should cover living expenses.Like 80% of my income goes to rent (and I have a roommate) and I moved to a place where rent is literally hundreds of dollars cheaper than it is where I used to live. Modern life. And older people make snide remarks about 20-somethings who have to move back in with their folks. They can’t afford to live anywhere else, unless their families want them living in boxes, with no food and no health care. -- source link
