[03:42]	IsambardPrince	<nobody> for minimum wage i guess, which would yield ~1700netto/month - not too bad
[03:42]	IsambardPrince	Minimum wage and 40 hours a week usually pays your rent and nothing else in the US.
[03:43]	IsambardPrince	Even when the local minimum wage is much higher, so is the rent.
[03:43]	IsambardPrince	It doesn't really help if they make the minimum wage $17.50, but then the rent is $1800.
[03:43]	IsambardPrince	You still need to work the same number of hours to afford a 1 br apartment in the market.
[03:44]	IsambardPrince	Without rent control they can raise the minimum wage to whatever they want and it won't be enough.
[03:44]	IsambardPrince	And they show no interest in rent control.
[03:44]	IsambardPrince	The landlords are making so much that you could pass a law freezing rents for 10 years, and in 10 years they'd still be making a killing.
[03:44]	IsambardPrince	Even factoring in 10 more years of inflation.
