@KNOWITALL I had an idea for a TV show. It would be about buying commercial space and turning it into residential. I have seen it done on some remodel shows, but usually it is a one off in the TV series, and not the main theme of the series.
Disabled people I see in a different category. Depends on the disability though. I am ok with the government helping the disabled. Those who are physically and mentally able to work, I think it is important they do, especially when they are young adults, and I think it is important that people who work hard, full time, be able to afford life, and be safe, because I think it helps the mental health of the individual and society. Being able to pay for life give people self esteem and also encourages them to consider life’s choices. It will never be perfect, but that is my basic feeling.
Now, changing course a little, where I live people live inexpensively (although that is changing) have a ton of services and activities, and a lot of people get paid very low wages here, and most of us volunteer. The low wages work out, because many of the people are already on social security. The other thing is everyone here is part of that system, so it works sort of like a cooperative. I teach zumba and I can also take free writing classes, free salsa classes, shoot at the air gun range for free, or learn Italian. What doesn’t work very well is the people who live in the surrounding areas need more money and a lot of them work here too. Many of them are not retired.
@SQUEEKY2 Either I do not understand what you are talking about, or you don’t understand that a federal minimum means some areas cannot provide a lower wage, they will be forced to pay the $15.
