The worst part of this thread is the immediate assumption that
A) The cost of living is the same in every state
And
B) Anyone working minimum wage is lazy, never went to some college or graduated and/or has kids that they "planned to get" (and I won't elaborate on that, use your brain).

This is why you don't have these kinds of discussions on forums of a luxury hobby.

Raising minumum wage (that high all at once) doesn't solve everything but it will definitely help people once deflation occurs and power returns to your money. All those people have to do is save their money until then and use it effectively. 

Nobody said people working minimum wage was "lazy", just that the job they're doing that take no skills to accomplish shouldn't be overly compensated. As for people and college, take a look here. Jobs are out there. It's on you to be qualified for it. Just because you went to school doesn't automatically mean you get a job. Art history, Philosophy, and English majors obviously went to school, but there's barely any jobs in those sectors...but those students freely chose those majors. 7.9M may seem steep (omg so many people can't get a job!), but an unemployent rate of 5.6% is pretty damned low (if all those positions were filled instantly).

And sex has consequences. If you're going out and having sex and having kids as a result, that's not society's fault; that's your fault. Society isn't responsible for your actions, you are. Whether your kids are planned or not planned, it's still your responsibility
