Goddamn, this is such horseshit.

Note that this news story originally came from Vox with the sensationalist head-line of: “A full-time minimum-wage job won’t get you a 1-bedroom apartment anywhere in America.” Which, isn't actually true.

What is true is that a single-earner household wherein the worker earns minimum wage cannot afford their rent and utilities in the average "fair market value" apartment in any U.S. state for less than 30pc of their income. There's nothing wrong with the NLIHC study, per se, but I don't know why we expect--especially at a state level--for a single-minimum wage earner to comfortably cover rent and utilities given the fact that half of these renters are under 25 and will have a disproportionate propensity to have some kind of multi-earner arrangement.

Furthermore, state- and even county-level studies of housing costs don't tell us as much as we would like them to, given the existence of low-rent areas within these states and counties which aren't properly accounted for by the research. There is a great deal of variability in rent, even in places like New York City.

Using the metric of affordability, the study shows that the ceiling is $377/month. You can rent in Houston for $366/month, New Orleans for $370/month, Oklahoma City for $399/month, Cleveland for $395/month and Philadelphia for $400/month for two bedrooms.

Finally, why is the minimum wage being cast as the suspect here? If anybody actually bothers to do three minutes of research they'll realise it's the flattening of housing construction since the recession which is probably driving higher rents, as is the case here in the UK too.
The shrekoning has arrived.

That it sounds like shit. What's so great about listening to static?
Its not like other music where you listen for melody, tone, etc. Its all about texture. Its great ambient music. I like it when I'm reading or sleeping.

Absolutely. The guy hosted drug trafficking, child porn, weapons trafficking, and potentially (though I believe unconfirmed) criminals for hire including murder. The guy's a scumbag, and there's really no way to excuse it.
Whoa whoa whoa. Silk Road had a very strict policy of no advertisements for child porn, weapons, and assassinations. Don't know where you got that misinformation.
Four Chan better enforces their no CP policy than they did.
Yeah but they didn't endorse it which seems to be what people are trying to say.

Actually I'm pretty sure the head honcho of silk road was never tracked down, only the people under him. Heck the FBI isn't sure if he's one person.
