    I said US, and Europe in reference to minimum wage. Why the fuck would you think I was possibly talking about the California minimum wage after mentioning a nation and a continent?

      Because we’re talking about California’s minimum wage, and there aren’t European nations that have 2-3x the US federal minimum wage with substantially lower rent than poor states in the US.

      Also, I don’t hold you above the sly rhetoric of comparing California’s rent to European nation’s while only considering the FEDERAL minimum wage. It goes hand-in-hand with the mental gymnastics ya’ll are twisting yourself in to agree with the crowd.
