re: #290 Lidane

You know what you’re conveniently ignoring in your idiotic quest to prove that people can get by on $8/hr? POPULATION DENSITY. The high cost areas you keep pointing to are urban areas where shitloads of people live.

Here’s an illustrated map for you:

Imagine that. Most people tend to live in the high cost areas you want to ignore.

Most people do NOT live in Aspen or Manhattan. There are all sorts of cities out there where costs are much more modest.

Puget Sound? Aspen? Manhattan? SF Bay? The average income there is far higher than for the nation as a whole. Surely it is not possible that most people live in areas where almost everybody makes a lot more than average.
