I have read here, that Americans Struggle to Pay rent while their minimum wage cannot cope with the demand of Rising Cost of Gasoline because they have cars and house rent, and mortgage to pay, I think the Solution to this Problem is to Copy Some of the Rules here in Saudi which is Free Accomodation, and Free Transportation from Home to work Vice-versa. I think U.S.A can Accomplish this and it's feasible because it's a rich Country. My Flat where I lived in have Aircon because it's too hot in here 45°C/113°F.
We have running water from faucet, a shower, a kitchen, a Refrigerator, a washing Machine and a Cooking Stove, all free and provided by the Company where I worked at. So you don't need to worry about monthly bills to pay, We have Company driver who will take us to work from Saturday to Thursday because our day-off is Friday, it is the day where they go to the Mosque(masjid) for prayers and Worship. One thing I read on this Sub is many Americans have no Insurance, I tell you, here in Riyadh, Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia (KSA) you cannot have a National I.D paid by your Company without an Insurance paid by your Company .
