Since prices are so high, places cant afford to pay high wages. $5 footlongs at Subway were $6, and the prices only increased. Those $5 fill ups at KFC are $8. Gas is usually near $4. Sorry, but human beings need this thing known as "sleep". And I never said people can or should live off minimum wage, because IMO, they shouldn't. Minimum wage is just that; minimum. It's not called livable wage. But like I said, why do you have to live by yourself? If you are making only minimum, you shouldn't expect the luxury of having a place all to yourself. However, here are some places where those workers could've lived by themselves: Alabama Detroit Mississippi Tennessee Ohio Texas Georgia Indiana Louisiana Iowa North Carolina Milwaukee Oklahoma Missouri Cincinatti All these states have places where the cost of living is under $40K, well under the $50K that those workers were already making before the strike. If they had just avoided the most expensive state in the nation and done a little research, they would be able to live comfortably on their current salary. --- ( ^_^)/\(^_^ ) Maya high five! ...
