Articles like this are always so misleading, yes technically someone working 40 hours at 7.25/hr can’t afford the median rent for any state. But who tf is making minimum wage?? McDonalds are paying $12-20/hr depending on location. 


It’s even worse when they try to pretend servers are *actually* only making $2.15

The actual error here is comparing *minimum* wage with *median* rent. Why would we expect someone at the bottom of the income distribution to be able to afford the middle of the rent distribution?
