That's cool, much appreciated. I don't think any of them are livable on the minimum wage.
The charts are terrifying.
Add the highest gas and now electric prices in the US, California is headed for a reckoning.
I know myself and several associates are looking at getting out, with some of us looking at north Washington to be close to the Canadian border.
The great thing about skyrocketing everything in California on top of their already insane prices, is that it makes other places that may have seemed out of reach cheaper by comparison now.
It's pushed me personally to finally open another business. Not because I was ready- or even wanted to again, but because I'm tired of making others rich for nothing.
I've a friend who is maintenence for Marriott properties- they just had a housekeeper hit 20 years with the company and she is still making minimum wage (bonus- it's the 14/hr not 15/hr because Marriott properties consider each location a separate business, so they don't think they should have to oay the 15/hr for employers with more than 26 employees).
Not even a $.05 raise a year.
Really opened his eyes, he is now looking at taking a year off to enjoy himself since he doesn't have rent or anything.

Sad, truly.
