In fact, I just got a notice from the water company that said they were going to nearly quadruple the water bill for residents in my town by 2020. The notice said they wouldn't do it if they received 40,000 letters of complaints. They received 43, total.

Liberals can increase the minimum wage all they want, it's not going to stop the gas, electric and water companies from bending you over and fucking you in the ass.

And people wonder why you need regulators.

Not sure what you're asking about here. As in 6-8 dollars/hour? That depends on the job and the location. Minimum wage in florida is $8.25/hour. A livable wage in my town is about $14/hour(i.e. you can pay your bills and have money for food and necessities, but you'll live in the ghetto and not have money for anything else). In a place like LA or NYC, that same $14/hour wouldn't even come close to paying your rent, let alone anything you need to survive. So yeah, it varies wildly by location and job.

Like me! Only in SoCal the livable wage is more like $22, like you mention.

Is that what you’re on?

I wouldn't complain if it helped the rent/utilities situation.

Alli's lucky if she gets more than 12.

I make less than livable wage, and yes I live in gang-infested ghetto with ridiculous rent for what you get.

I should have clarified full time jobs. Part time jobs are getting ridiculous in how few hours they're willing to give.

You guys suffer the Zero Hours issue? Or is that not a thing for you?

DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Mhmm. I'm full time, but am told 40 is the limit, don't go over 40.

It's a simple answer. The government is sticking their noses in our wallets despite taxing over 20% of our wages earned. MORE than one full day of my work week goes to taxes so the government can blow 3.1 billion dollars annually for government employee vacation pay and 23 billion dollars on illegal immigrants. And now they're quadrupling the water bill because they can,

You’d think that’d be illegal.

Like I said, you need better regulation.

Sounds like a normal part time job to me, no contract needed.
