I figured as much (I'm more familiar with the prices in LLM's domain and they're almost as bad), but I maintain that nobody needs to be legally mandating a price floor for part time table bussing. Turning jobs like that into mandatory "living wage" jobs just inflates everything even more. It sucks but there isn't any real solution to cost of living problems besides building more housing. Really, I just wanted to rant about counterproductive minimum wage laws.

But she has to have the hustle and bustle, don't you understand? How can you expect her to move to Ohio or something? Don't you know that those places are full of literal Nazis?
It doesn't sound like she's paying all of her own living expenses. If she were living with no income and no external support up there she'd be homeless.
And $7.25 isn't enough to live off of throughout most of the country, yet is still the minimum wage in the majority of places. It sounds like she'd just like to be making /some/ nonzero amount of money, which would be possible without the artificial price floor.

If it were, the NY gov wouldn't need to make it the minimum wage because everyone would already be paying it. Please stop being a communist.
