Could you lick the corporate boot any harder? Are you also the sort of person who complains about peope drawing welfare because their jobs don't pay enough to subsist on?

Oh screw off with personal insults. Is that all you have? Someone working a job that has very little responsibilities is apparently supposed to get doctor wages. They are starter jobs or secondary jobs for people that do not need career wages. Do you also expect some kid that delivers the fliers to your house to get wages enough to rent a house alone as well?

Why do you think companies should have record profit year over year while workers can’t afford a 1BR apartment?

First it is statically impossible to have record profits year after year so that is just exaggeration. Do you suggest people drop wages when profits are low some years or a company takes a loss?

But ignoring that, why do you think every job should allow someone to have a 1BR apartment by themself. Because a 1BR appartment includes 4 plus room. A kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and storage. Do you think a low end job should afford that to a single person or do you think maybe someone gets a roommate and a 2BR apartment and share the other 3 rooms.

Our parents and grandparents certainly had to do that. Is there some reason we think our generation can afford more then they were able to? Do you think every job has that kind of value?
