If you're making minimum wage you have 2 of the following 3: are a felon, can't pass a drug test and/or stupid as frick.

ALl true as rain, has zero to do with that worker meeting the costs of his basic needs for living in a geographic area. The best way for all of us for that idiot to make his nut is through employment where the employer pays ALL of the cost of production out of his wallet, not mine and yours, and then sells us the shite thusly produced at a cost that those production costs are captured. His reliance on you and I to subsidize HIS livliehood has proven since time out of mind to lead to all manner of ill shite...yet we continue to do it.

The idiot who can't get a better paying job ain't going away without some trouble just because he can't make his nut everymonth. If he has a minimum wage job it means he is employed....he is at least making some effort to meet his nut through labor. We should encourage that instead of encouraging him to do what he is cut out for and that living on the dole and being a criminal...cause guess what, both of those are already costing you and I a damned fortune!
