Minimum wage workers can't afford rent anywhere in America | CNN Business

Housing has become so expensive in the United States that the typical minimum wage worker cannot afford rent, according to a new report.

CNN

Nearly half of American workers don’t earn enough to afford a one-bedroom rental

About one in seven Americans fell behind on rent payments as housing costs continued to increase during the pandemic

the Guardian

Half of American Workers Made Less Than $35,000 in 2019, Report Shows

Annual wage statistics, released by the Social Security Administration, showed roughly 86 million U.S. workers earned $35,000 or less throug

Yeah this seems like a healthy economy, at least the gdp keeps rising so everything is fine

It’s also a form of disenfranchisement.

It’s harder for homeless people to vote because you often need a residency you’ve lived out a certain amount of time.

So it makes homelessness not just easy for politicians to ignore, but in some way beneficial if say there are certain groups of people you don’t want to vote.

Anyway, here are some basic voting for homeless rights

People experiencing homelessness or who are otherwise in transition face special challenges when registering to vote. Below we discuss some

A) this is hilarious and kids are fucking incredible comedians with devastatingly frank takedowns of adult nonsense

B) for people in the tags, I am absolutely certain it’s not “I sell paper”!!! It’s “hice el paper” = “I made/did the paper”

no, they actually do mean kites

as in, a loooooooooong piece of steel cable with the sail at the end of it

of course it’s ~basically a sailing ship~ but you can’t stick masts on a container ship, that is a disaster waiting to happen for so many reasons

you’d only really get one point to anchor the mast, and that is right where it meets the deck, the containers get it the way of any ropes you might wish to use further up

you’d have to build entirely new container ships or some sort of … mast container frame to account for the fact that the ships are built to exactly fit the containers, and sticking a mast in the middle of it will mess with that entire system by not being the size of a container

loading and unloading around the masts is going to be hell for the crane drivers and there will be damage to everything given the speed they usually work with, so every harbor will hate you if their cranes even have the height to work around the masts

and if you still decide to stick masts on a container ship, they won’t be easily and quickly removeable, so you have to recertify and reclassify the entire ship, and it’s going to take ages and ages to do properly, and they’ll have to figure out how to do it so it’s either expensive as fuck or they may refuse entirely. a steel cable on a winch is by definition removeable (that is, uh, uprollable?) so you don’t have to deal with any of this nonsense. hell, if you calculate the pre-determined breaking point properly, it’ll even fail safely

this isn’t ~ooooooooooh we invented sails! we’re the smartest~

this is “hey, we finally figured out how to do this tried and tested thing in a way that works with the circumstances we’re working under”. it’s a good thing, even if it is presented badly

Thank-you for that info ^ because this is very heartening then. Transport really is so awful rn in what it’s doing to our atmosphere. Looked this up and this is actually a really neat prospect for the planet if it gets implemented.

oh that is very cool actually!! i fully retract my reactionary bullshit meme in favor of the new information, thank you :D
