Minimum wage should be $15/hr

This is gonna be another one of my extreme views that might piss some people off. I looked up apartments and I was actually shocked at how expensive it is. On average, I'd say apartments range $900-1500. If someone made $15 and worked around 20 hours they'd have roughly $1200 monthly, the average cost of rent according to my calculations. And this is only apartment rent. Internet, electric bills, water bills, car payments, food, etc isn't being accounted for in that. Normally someone works 40 hours and that's honestly insane.

Normally someone works 40 hours and that's honestly insane. I only work a very low amount and even that drains me the fuck out. I kind of just think people should automatic be able to live without working. I didn't ask to be put here. I don't think it's a lot to ask for work and personal life being split in half. I don't think it's a lot to ask for to be able to come home and all your free time being spent recovering and processing the previous work day.
Things like rent also just happen to be priced so a normal salary often barely covers it.
It can then be up to you to work more if you want more money. You shouldn't need to have work steal your soul in order to just not die.
