if you don’t like cats you’ve just never experienced the deep and powerful love of a cat that’s chosen you. like if a cat decides it wants to bond with you it’s something that’s so pure and beautiful and unbreakable. cats are made of love and when a cat chooses to love you it will LOVE you. cats are so special and so important. they just pour their whole soul into yours and it’s the kinda love that never leaves you. cats ARE love

Minimum Wage should be indexed to 2% of a city’s median rent.
And here’s why:
Housing costs are the single biggest financial burden facing Americans today.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development define being cost-burdened as spending more than a third of your income on rent. By that definition, over half of the households in this country are cost-burdened. Source
If we want people to be able to afford to live in cities and not get priced out, we have to make a two pronged approach. One is to build houses towards all incomes and price ranges, not just luxury condos. And the other is a robust wage floor so people can actually afford to live.
Fight for 15 is doing an amazing job and I love them, but we have to realize that is quite a few places, $15/hr still isn’t enough to live on.
Which is where the 2% comes in. It allows a minimum wage that is flexible with regards to the costs of living.
And it wasn’t plucked out of thin air either:
Rent should be a third of a persons income, or to restate the equation: income should be three times a person’s rent.
And since a full time job is 8 hrs a day / 40 hrs a week / 160 hrs a month.
So when you do the math, the ideal hourly minimum wage as a percentage of rent works out to around 1.875%, which for ease of calculation is 2%.
Example minimum wages under a 2% rent rule:
San Francisco: $67.40/hr
New York City: $56/hr
Boston: $55.94/hr
Los Angeles: $27/hr
Houston: $21.38/hr
St. Louis: $18.22/hr
Billings, MT: $17.16/hr
https://globalnews.ca/news/3609431/new-record-2090-a-month-is-average-cost-of-one-bedroom-rental-in-vancouver/
Vancouver BC: $41.80/hr
Calgary AB: $30.00/hr
Regina SK: $17.72/hr
Winnipeg MB: $21.40/hr
Toronto ON: $35.52/hr
Montreal QC: $19.12/hr
St John NF: $19.16/hr
Halifax NS: $19.74/hr
Not quite as staggering as San Francisco, but Vancouver’s housing crisis is still glaring.
@allthecanadianpolitics
I currently live in Boulder. The average apartment costs $1800.The minimum wage would have to be about $36/hr. In Denver it would be about $30.18/hour
god do i feel underpaid now (in nyc)
@crunchbuttsteak I feel like conservatives would complain about this because it would “kill businesses”, without paying attention to the fact that ppl making that much money quite simply SPEND MORE!!!
This exactly.

HAVE I NOT SUFFERED ENOUGH?
my boss came into work this morning and when he saw my arm, he asked me, “why piano keys?”
all I could do was shrug at him and go, “because I like piano?”
honestly, why else would I get piano keys tattooed on my arm lol
nah man, it’s because I fucking hate piano, obviously, and I just wanted to be reminded of how much it disgusts me every time I look at my damn arm
like what kind of stupid-ass question lol

An overheard conversation between two of my coworkers today; one of which is a woman who recently broke up with her boyfriend and has been considering spending the weekend at a cabin she has in a nearby town called Maher's (pronounced like "mars"). The other is a single gay man.
Female Coworker: Y'know what? Screw it. I'm going to Maher's this weekend, even if I have no one who'll go with me.
Gay Male Coworker: *AHEM*
FC: Oh! Yeah, cool, you wanna come to Maher's with me this weekend?
GMC: Eh, I'm more of a "Uranus" person, myself.
I LIVE!
My makeup is on point and I’m feeling like a badass in my mech leggings.
