My son works full time here in Florida. Let me run his numbers.

State minimum wage is $14/hour. He's at $15.

40 hours a week = $600/week
That's about $2,600/month before taxes.

Florida has no state income tax the thing they sell you on. So after federal and FICA he takes home roughly $2,200.

Average one-bedroom in our area runs about $1,600.

That's 73% of his entire paycheck gone to rent before he eats a single meal.

Leaves him around $600 a month for:

- groceries
- gas
- car insurance
- health insurance
- phone
- emergencies
- savings

Car insurance alone eats a third of that in this state.

He works 40 hours a week and cannot save a dollar. Not because he's careless because there's nothing left to be careless with.

I spent thirty years paying off a house here. He's doing the same job I did at his age and he can't afford a one-bedroom.

That's not a discipline problem. That's not avocado toast.

The floor moved and nobody lowered the ceiling.

Working full time should cover a roof. In Florida it barely covers the rent on one.

@CanadaForEurope @SpudStateUSA @Polymarket Mf Africa's entire population is propped up by the rest of the world. It would collapse in a year if not for the trillions spent.

[Spud @SpudStateUSA]

@Polymarket But it’s immoral if we stop funding third world countries because they wouldn’t exist without getting subsidized? Yes? Oh so you want to reduce the white population. Got it.

Mamdani’s taxpayer funded groceries will require some form of ID to verify shoppers are New Yorkers…

But they don’t want Voter ID to secure elections.

You can’t make this up…
