California is a complete cash grab . You ' ve listened to it . You should know . <| sep |> No not really . <| sep |> Yeah this is why I don ' t get excited about minimum wage increases in states or whatever . I could care less if I was making $ 3 hr , so long as I can pay off all my bills with that . Honestly housing is a monumental issue that needs to be fixedcontrolled in a way that even people making like $ 9 hr aren ' t spending over 50 % of their income for just renting . I mean there are government subsidies for that , but you pretty much can ' t make over $ 8 or $ 9 hr where I live or you make too much to qualify . And it ' s not like making $ 10 hr suddenly gives you the ability pay for everything without the subsidies so it just leaves you in a position of never breaking away from it .
