        Yeah even on the shithole east side of Cincinnati nobody pays less than $12 and you can’t live on that here. $30 isn’t at all radical for NY.

          I live cheap in a redneck chunk of Florida. $15 is the minimum wage and two people can’t squeak by with that in just about any dwelling or situation.

        And I’ll tell you what a native New Yorker friend told me when we visited Manhattan in 1991.

        “How does anyone live on minimum wage here?!”

        Laughing, “Man! Nobody gets paid minimum wage!”

        Anyway, $30 sounds like rock-bottom. Not criticizing the guy, just saying $30 is the least they should aim for.
