It's a situation where they are either gonna lie on the welfare apps or they live with someone splitting expenses. Some of these folks are also staying in property that is in the family or was handed down to them and they don't have to pay rent/mortgages...or they aren't and they are on section 8. You'd be surprised at the people on section 8. shyt has a waiting list for a reason not for the hell of it. Developers build whole apartment complexes just to put folks on section 8. That's guaranteed problem free rent payments. Ultimate hustle. Especially in this era of rampant gentrification.I dont know how they do it breh... how the hell they survive off them checks
I could never go back to that lifestyle
Oh. They're probably (most likely) living in government assisted apartments (or living with someone) and majority of minimal wage workers on average are eligible for food stamps, utility expenses etc.No i meant how as in how do they survive off that...edit: not the place

I don't look down on them but I know the feeling. Years ago when I was in college I got fired from a call center job that was paying decent money. I had other job opportunities but they were 9-5 type of gigs so I wouldn't be able to take my classes. I settled on a security job making minimum wage. Going from making a decent living to making barely shyt was a humbling experience. That was long ago but whenever I get upset about my current career I have to remind myself it could be worse.
That's why I always treat people at these low wage jobs with respect and decency.

Not gonna happen. Some of these businesses gotta satisfy their stock buyers. If you have stock in a company you have a say on what that company does. And if burger flippers make $20, what about Construction laborers?
These places could at least pay $13/hr
