Not possible in most of Southern California
Is it possible for someone to live on their own working on minimum wage renting a home by themselves? If so...

But minimum wage increases are inflation. You're artificially raising the price on a service without actually increasing the value provided. The economy shifts to reflect this.
Josiah Perez
well when automation replaces your skilled trade ajd you have to start something new you'll realize what a cunt you are for thinking that nonsense

Addressed it here

Florida ftw. Break my back everyday doing hazardous shit still get paid only 10 bucks an hour. Granted a little higher than minimum wage, but not worth the shit they want me to do most days.

it was mostly an aside. I couldnt imagine single digit cigarettes anymore. Hell the bootleggers sell them for 8 illegally. Dont wanna derail the topic on this of course just saying

>>i never had any ambition and stayed doing the the worst most worthless job possible because it was easy
Sorry your fast food job would let you retire to your own private island but maybe you shouldnt flip burgers for 30 years

Actually increasing taxes on goods like cigarettes is not primarily done as an incentive to lower demand. Its primary goal is to provide the government with more tax revenue.

Yeah that's what people said when we mechanized farming. New jobs just pop up because there's always stuff to do.
>but they'll automate those too
Can't automate a job until it exists. The worker has to come before the automation.
