I dont claim to know your system..
I do know some people that are single on minimum wage there though..
I also know they are brassic.
I know a couple that do a job and minor crime, to make ends meet.
That suggests they havent enough that its "life Sustaining"

Well, I have a couple of friends who work full-time in a factory and live either alone or with a friend.Originally Posted by Rat Faced
They are always skint. One of them deals pot now and again for some cash.
The reason they've not much money is because the rent and council tax around here is pretty high and they don't qualify for benefits.
However, this doesn't mean that our minimum wage system sucks. It's just an isolated case, an example of annecdotal evidence.
Just like what you wrote about America.

Yet you continue to google it with full faith...

You used the term anecdotal?
Yes, much more often than not.
Those inclined to break the law (to supplement their income) will continue to do so no matter the ostensible reason.
This holds true on both sides of the pond.

I think maybe you're guilty of using a couple of unwarranted absolutes in this thread. Sure, lots of people who are inclined to break the law will do so in any circumstance, but some feel they have no choice in the matter and will resort to lawlessness in only the most dire circumstance.
When these circumstances are alleviated, they revert to law abiding type.
Of course, this happens in both the US and UK.

I have no idea either. Is it an acronym, if so I shall seek council from Busyman (bka Seņor 1337 5p34k).I am tempted to ask "how much does Ern earn", in the knowledge that practically no-one will know what I am talking about.
He is peerless in these matters.

I didnt Google it...Yet you continue to google it with full faith...
I asked why they were doing something they didnt want to do even though it was illegal and they had a job.
They told me.
Their income was less than their necessary outgoings...

Methinks there has been a misunderstanding of some sort.

Which is my point, and also a well-warranted usage of an absolute...

Use Logic Or STFU!!!
If someone works a minimum wage job to support a family, it is in many cases, the fault of that person.
Many people resort to crime to make ends meet but there are those that commit crime just to keep up their lifestyle.
Cue Weeds example......
Silly bitch, your weapons cannot harm me. Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, Bitchhhh!
