Reply #126: And it's higher in a lot of cities

[Warpy]

A living wage should allow you to live in safe housing, eat cheap but nutritious food (including fruit and veg in season), and go to the doctor when you're sick. That's just bare subsistence.

That's what marginal workers should get, at the very least.

Instead, they're living in homeless shelters or camper shells on cinder blocks, eating trash food that supplies calories without nutrition, and if they get sick, they just have to hope they get better because there is no way to get care.

This is disgraceful. This whole country has gotten to be disgraceful.
