    It's true, you can comfortably live off of minimum wage, as long as you don't have kids.

    And don't have any medical conditions (and roll the dice on not having insurance,) and have roommates, and live in an area where it's somehow cheap but also close enough to bike or walk to work. And your only hobby is biking or walking to work.

      I mean yes a welfare state can help to lift people out of poverty but it doesn't fix the underlying issues

    Looking forward to cashing my cat's weekly nonworker check.
