Antiwork

I hate income restricted apartments.

The premise is good on paper, but not much in reality. So many in this area are income restricted. For 2 people here, the cut-off is $38,580 a year. The min wage currently is $13/Hr (IL) That's 2,967 hours two people can work, or 1,483 hours per person. Which is 28.5 hours a week…at min wage. You almost have to be poor on purpose. If someone works full time, at minimum wage, the other person could only work 17 hours a week, and most places wouldn't even bother hiring someone for such few hours. ​ ​ ​ ​
