No, because I live in an actual SOCIALIST UTOPIA.

Been there, done that. Average rent in my Flyover state is $1500 a month, not including utilities. When I was a student and going to class full time and working part time, I simply couldn't afford to live so I had to get a bunch of roommates.

Here with minimum wage you could can live "decently" as long as you stay out of most major cities.

Finland has no homelessness. Every homeless person gets a free apartment and counseling. Paid for by the state. 80% of people in the program become financially stable.

Minimum salary here is 103 USD. Absolute minimum for rent is around 300 USD. 1 m^2 of property costs 900 USD minimum for a cardbox. Average salary is below 350 USD

Get on my levels of hopelessness, firsties

No you don't.

Yup, shit minimun wage workers wouldnt even be able to affor food, but minimun wage is more of a meme than a real thing preetty much no one makes that little, is more of a device to keep taxes low

Since forever. That's why you see people living with their parents

I do fine on minimum wage in college, but that's because I have an apartment with 3 other roommates.

The rich pay their taxes and nobody goes hungry.

Why should minimum wage workers be able to afford housing? Not being able to live should incentivize them to get higher paying jobs.

I make $200k and all I do is publish op-eds about how Bernie Sanders is worse than Donald Trump and how Palestinian resistance is just the newest stage of antisemitism.

The GOP recoils in horror at the thought.

You can't really do your job if you have no normal place to sleep and wake up at.

it must be nice to live in a small country seems much more manageable, although I could be mistaken

Complete and utter bullshit. Only places where that would happen is Cuckfransisco where even your brainwashed idiots work 14 hours and live in pod communes.

Americans say this to me all of the time regarding universal healthcare, but the fact of the matter is that if essential services are centralized and streamlined, it reduces waste and increases efficiency because everyone uses the same protocols, leading to less overhead on a macro scale. Canada isn't socialist, really, but I imagine the same could be said for other things like housing, counselling, job programs, etc. like Finland appears to be doing.

If I take it one step more, I might even say that we should just scrap all useless jobs where people just shuffle money around and use these people for something useful instead of gouging people on interest or financing or selling useless trash, but then we veer off into commie territory

Fun fact, my state has no minimum wage and we have the lowest poverty rate in the country

It's much easier to do in a big country. Things get cheaper when you buy in bulk.

get off the proxy

A lot of US companies try to pay Mexican minimum wage when they first move to Mexico and often struggle to find any skilled people willing to work for it until they raise their pay a lot. German and Japanese firms in Mexico usually start at double to triple minimum wage, at least in the auto industry that's how it works.

Ben Shapiro plz leave

In Sweden McDonalds workers make $15/hr with 25 days paid vacation, paid paternal leave, paid sick leave and something called "uncomfortable worktime" which means they make 100% extra salary on sundays and saturdays after 12:00 (making their salary $30/hr)

It's definitely enough to afford rent, even though we have housing issues here too

In flyover states where homes are only $100,000 to $200,000, minimum wage is only $7 per hour. That'd come out to about $14,000 per year salary on a 40 hour work week. You can't afford a rental alone on that income.

You still have federal minimum wage though.

yes, $7.25

I live alone and pay 450CAD$ a month for a two bedroom. Get on my level.
