Reminds me of the case where the judge didn't let a parent name their child 'Messiah.'

Yeah. Nobody expects alabamians to be above this kind of high school drama behavior.

They really haven't grown up as a society.

I'm never surprised at the lengths people are willing to go to stop listening to music they don't like.

Prices are already wildly in excess of what many Americans can afford at all.

Hmm.. Then how do people keep paying for it?

If you're selling a product people can't afford, how are you making money? Who is buying it?

Because we're talking about California's minimum wage, and there aren't European nations that have 2-3x the US federal minimum wage with substantially lower rent than poor states in the US.

Also, I don't hold you above the sly rhetoric of comparing California's rent to European nation's while only considering the FEDERAL minimum wage. It goes hand-in-hand with the mental gymnastics ya'll are twisting yourself in to agree with the crowd.

Sorry man, I'm done trying to explain basic economics to people who can't think for themselves.

You're just going to do whatever the crowd is doing, even if they're wrong. I don't hold this above you.

Goodbye. Gonna block you now.

There are countries in Europe with cheaper rent than the US with 2-3x the minimum wage amount.

Bullshit. Are you talking about 2-3x the FEDERAL minimum wage, or California's STATE minimum wage?

Please point to the European countries that have a minimum wage of $31/hour, which is twice the California state minimum wage. That's literally what engineers get paid, lol.

If you're talking FEDERAL minimum wage, then I'd point out that rent prices in California are some of the highest in the country. It's because people in California have more money to spend, so everything they buy is more expensive. It's a simple concept I've been saying since the beginning.

Man. The more replies I see, the clearer it becomes that the vast majority of people in this comment chain have no clue what they're talking about. They're just twisting their brains in knots to find ways to agree with the crowd because they can't think for themselves.

Oh boy, now he's telling me to look things up.

Lol. I'm not going to go down your rabbit holes. What I've said is common knowledge and basic economics.

The fact you can't understand that is a testament to why I won't take you seriously.

I wholeheartedly believe people like you are just doing mental gymnastics to agree with the crowd because you can't think for yourself.

Sorry.

Why should they get taxpayer money to waste it on sports? To appease meatheads who don't belong in college in the first place.

Why should they get taxpayer money and still charge tuition? To make rich people richer faster.

Lol, okay. You're just making stuff up to argue against because you don't have an actual rebuttal.

Goodbye. Keep thinking you're right. At least you have the average person in this comment chain to agree with you, lol.

I mean, I totally agree with what you're saying.

I don't think it should be this way, but it is.

Blame capitalism. Maximizing profit, by definition, is doing the least while charging the most.

So... where do people working minimum wage live? Do they own their property?

If not, whoever they are paying will able to extract more money from them if they have more money to give. This isn't even exclusive to rent.

It's a very simple concept, and it's sad this needs to be spelled out for you.

I genuinely believe you are twisting your brain in knots to find ways to agree with the crowd.

Lol. Okay.

There are definitely exceptions, but they're just that: exceptions.

Overall, most things are priced according to what people are willing and able to pay. Apartment rent in this case is not an exception. As soon as people can pay more, landlords will charge more.

It's sad this needs to be spelled out for you, but that's probably why you're bad with money.

Sounds like he lived in a rural area.

Things are just different outside of suburbs and cities. People leave their doors unlocked.

Yeah, I was just saying the opposite of what is true so people can see how stupid it sounds.

What are you even talking about?

I'm purely talking about rent prices. Not who and who cannot pay it. Rent is going to be priced to maximize profit. This means as soon as people can pay more, they will charge more.

If an apartment complex sees they can make more money by raising rents above what those making minimum wage can pay, then any minimum wage tenants will be replaced by those with more money.

I wholeheartedly believe everyone who doesn't understand this is looking at the downvotes first, and logic second.

The amount of nonsense I had to read in this comment chain is appalling. But it just shows me the vast majority of you don't understand basic economics, yet think you do because you agree with people who are wrong.

Sad.

I think he said that California was trying to dictate half of the other states.

I think that would depend on the rules that you agreed to when using the website or service.

For example, anything posted to Facebook is owned by facebook. They can do whatever they want with it.

I'm not sure what the rules for 'chaturbate' are.

Calm down.
