Only if mutts could protest things that matter, and know how.

If you don't buy $800 phone, don't take a loan for a 150k house, don't use $50 plan, avoid healthcare and instead make yourself an emergency fund(you can go anywhere else in the world, and you'll have much cheaper service) You'd be protesting all the buillshit you're crying about.

There are countries where you can study on an international student visa for free with a much better social safety net, cheaper monthly expenses, essentially free healthcare and excellent job prospects. You would have to learn a euro or asian language though and adapt to a different culture.

> a minimum wagie should be able to afford the newest phones, an above-average car and a house
Poor people should live like poor people. The healthcareis the only non-retarded complaint because: A) you may be required to purchase healthcare, or face regulatory consequences; or, B) Healthcare is the only thing listed "necessary" for survival

> Phones cost $800
No, iPhones and Androids cost $800. You can still buy flip-phones and mid-2000s phones for $20, you just think you're entitled to a shiny brand-new one because everyone else has one.

>Phone plans cost $50+ /mo
You can still buy non-prepaid phone plans for cheap (easily less than $50), you just think you need unlimited text/data/whateverthefuckelse.

> Houses cost $150k+
> buying a house at the top of the real estate bubble
Property prices are fucked, I agree. Still doesn't make you any less retarded for trying to buy a $150k+ house on a $20k> yearly salary.

> Cars cost $20k+
The fuck kind of car are you trying to buy? Are you seriously surprised you cant afford a $20k car with a $20k salary? No fucking shit. Plenty of NEW and reliable cars out there you could find relatively easily for less than $15k. You can find thousands of used-cars for less than $5k and even more for less than $10k.

Now, if you had said something about tuition costs dwarfing all of the costs you listed COMBINED, maybe you'd have a stronger argument. However, considering you're a minimum wagecuck i'd bet you haven't been to school since highschool

Stop thinking inside the fucking box. Better yet, take the student loan money and start a business if you're parents cant help you. OR, get an unsecured bank loan and start something. That way, if you fuck up you can just declare bankruptcy and not be liable for life like you would with a student loan.

I actually was homeless for a few years or so, crashing on couches. I was a throwaway. Mom let me move back home and started my business from there when I was 22 or so. I was on the streets from 19 until then. She made me pay rent even as soon as I started making $. Just paid off my school loans recently too. Glad I dropped out after a single year and partied the entire time. Was totally worth the 10k I owed, which I was able to talk down to 6k.

It's just amazing that it's considered totally normal.

I live in the Southeastern USA and it's just one fat person after another.

> Gee bill I need to get to the doctor again I'm having chest pains
> massive gut
> joint pain
>chest pains
>high blood pressure

and yet they don't put the fork down and go for a run.

I really don't have a problem with their choices, but since the insurance companies and the government give a healthy body and a fat body the same pricing and the same plan it really triggers me.

Speaking from experience in the trades...

SOME accidents are unavoidable, but probably 80% could be eliminated IF

> Management actually cared about making the workplace very safe
> The equipment was checked regularly to keep it safe
> The spent the 5% extra on the safe equipment
> Safety training was a part of every employee's protocol

As long as the cost of doing the above is greater than the cost of the settlements and claims for accidents, big business will continue not giving a shit.

Call centers are for teenagers? Because they also pay that much. Most jobs pay fuck all these days, even the "good" ones. Can't just walk into a factory and get a job since they moved all those overseas so the only high paying job now without going in debt from school is transportation/logistics. Guess what's being automated next? Looks like another half of the workforce is going to be pushed onto unemployment soon.

Well, not JUST because of fat people.

It's actually because the US subsidizes a huge portion of the rest of the world's health care through the high costs of their own.

That's why you rarely hear the rest of the world, or at least their politicians, bring up American health care. They don't want their gravy train to end.

do farm work, the right farm will provide housing in exchange for work. Use spare time to teach yourself something.

How the fuck do I dig ditches when I have scoliosis you cunt? Why do you think I work a call center instead of a warehouse and make $15 an hour instead? Most people these days have too poor of health to dig ditches or do anything physical. That's no way to live in this day and age anyway. Besides that I actually have a degree but I haven't really been able to use it for anything. It's a business degree. I tried to start an online business by selling things on Amazon but the profits weren't enough to live on even from buying cheap shit from China and upmarking it a bit. Just not enough sales and too many chinks doing the same but selling for cheaper than me.

I don't disagree that it's shit but it is still relative. Ontario, Canada raised minimum wage from $11.40 to $14.00 and employers clawed it back through benefit cuts or laying people off and letting the rest pick up the slack. Not to mention the increase in prices to also offset the wage hike

All of this is easily doable on $10/hr full time with some left to put in savings, except I do this on my $30/hr full time job while trying to start a business. If you're wagecucking at $10/hr, you should be trying to gain enough knowledge to enter an entry-level position with a career that isn't a total dead end. If you piss away your minimum wage on stupid bullshit while waiting around for something else to save you then you deserve to be poor your whole life.

Hello OP, this is true. purchasing power of the median has decreased. (in western countries)
The reason for that of course is immigration, women, government spending and monetary policy to give out quadrillion $ of loans for 0% interest.

10$/h still sounds like a low income in general, no matter where you live, except for Zimbabwe or some shit
