Top Progressives Say $15 Minimum Wage Is Too Low, Call For $26 Minimum Wage Instead

The issue is/was the US government paying people to stay home.

And people blow their paychecks on $200 shoes, the latest Iphone, Xbox and whatever clothes are trending now. Then complain it's the governments fault for not requiring their jobs to pay them "enough for food and rent".

Just saw a bartender post about a woman that comes into their bar 3-4 days/week and has 4-6 Patron drinks and eats steak and lobster then writes "Can't afford tip, I have 3 kids" on the receipt.

Not to mention the fact that all this time they weren't required to pay rent because of the illegal government moratorium and instead of saving ANY of their money that would have gone towards rent, they blew it all on the things you mentioned.

There are going to be a lot of people evicted when they end it. They are still required to pay the back rent once it's over, right? Good luck getting another apartment anywhere once you're out for nonpayment. Plus the rental prices are going to skyrocket.

Here's another thought, If you can't afford to live because you have a kid it's probably not a good idea to have 2-3 more.

Yup, as soon as it is overturned by the courts, they will be responsible for all the back rent owed. Then you will hear the deadbeats all whine how unfair it is that they owe their landlords the money that they are contractually bound to pay because of the lease they signed.

It is going to be a shitshow. I've seen firsthand that people aren't saving any of the "free" money they got. Our rental bookings at work are not cheap and for the last two summers we have had a ton of lower income people showing up acting like they won the lotto. Our rentals range from $300-$1500 a night depending on the sleeping capacity, time of year, weekday/weekend, etc.
