Nowhere in America can someone working full-time at a minimum wage job afford a 2 BR apartment. If we had given everyone $2k/mo during the worst of the pandemic, the eviction crisis might not be the humanitarian disaster it is now. “Go get a job” is cruel advice.

You're implying a full time min wage can afford a 1 br apartment; they can't; min wage full time workers can't afford a studio, & that's why people say 'we need a livable wage'. Oligarchs Pelosi, Biden, Obama, etc don't care.

How about all actors and actresses start shelling out some money from their own pockets. Instead of bellyache about it

No one is paying minimum wage these days

What’s wrong with a studio apt? What’s wrong with roommates?

I speak for the poor and downtrodden in this country in saying that we need RAGE and contempt from you towards the Democratic party. We need you to turn your back on them and support third parties. And there's people infinitely worse off than me and the democrats abandoned them.

please speak for the people, for the poor, for life. Where is your role in supporting young people to create start-up projects for them? Everyone wants to work, I have visited 130 countries and what I have noticed is that young people are part of the country's economy.

"Can't afford a 1BR apartment" FTFY Hell, they probably couldn't even afford a loft apartment on minimum wage.

It's not advice. It is victim blaming. The equivalent of saying, if you did not want to get raped, you should not have worn that dress.
