Just wanted to ask, is the China statistics of the mainland or the mainland+HK?
Good point you bring up, but I think overpopulation has a lot to do with it
Hong Kong is not China... well not for that website
Cost of living index in Hong Kong is 20.40% lower than in New York.
A single person monthly costs: 1,005.29$ (7,856.60HK$) without rent.
In HK?
1,000 a month for living expenses isn’t that bad
That’s from the link you sent me
@Fane if there are more people paid equally the market will adjust for their purchase power
conversley minimum wage tends to drive inflation, which is another counter argument
Don’t get me wrong living on minimum wage is bad
But I also don’t think every job is paying minimum wage
This is old but
Roughly 870,000 workers earned exactly the minimum wage in 2015
For the US
Which is like what...
Not even 1%?
So most people in America are getting paid above minimum wage
can someone tell me how the FUCK did boris get PM 🤢
well they dont have to
Most of that spending is on luxury items tho
cause he promised to actually deliver on brexit
@Deleted User idek anymore
People are buying $1000 iPhone X’s and then saying “I have no money for food”
brexit is such a bad idea
debatable
theres an argument that greater autonomy is a good thing
@Mr1Gonzalez Not all people earning minimum wage by the latest iPhone. Especially those whom have a family
it's pretty much just salty old people who voted brexit and most of the younger generation voted stay
Not all but many do
@chuckayy Boris' Brexit is leaving the EU without a deal if he can't reach a solution. That's bad for everyone
In three months, iPhone X sold 30 million phones
debatable
still creates greater autonomy
its just gonna mess up house prices and a bunch of other shit and our house of commons is too proud to realise they fucked up and stay
Globally or US?
@Deleted User Exactly.
