Full time work should entitle someone to enough pay for rent, food, bills, and leisure activities. Full time work for a full life wage. You put in your 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? You should be able to afford the basic shit you need in life, no matter where you work.

pisses me off that this is considered a radical statement.

So I should be able to move into one of the midst densely populated cities, say LA or New York, flip burgers for a living and all of a sudden i should just be allowed to have a $2000/ month apartment to boot?

Yes, otherwise it isn’t ethical for that business to be there

What did you mean by this

That its unethical for a business to not pay its workers a living wage. If the cost of living in one place is higher, wages should be higher.

who the fuck do you expect to flip your burgers if the people flipping them can’t even afford to live close to their job? where do you think burger-flippers come from? do you think they materialize out of thin air when the store unlocks its doors in the morning?

you think it’s right that they should have to commute two hours into a city or live with 5 other people or have a second job just to be able to serve you fucking burgers?

a living situation should be able to support a job just as much as the job should be able to support the living situation. a burger job in downtown New York absolutely should be paying more than a burger job in rural Indiana because the cost work there in the first place is triple that amount. if someone is hemorrhaging money just to be able to maintain their employment that’s unethical on the employer’s part
