When did it seem like the inner circle "sparked" ? How did that happen?

What idea were you dying to respond to? What would you have said?

How does minimum wage keep people in poverty is a great question I heard, it started a great conversation.

But one question I have is why would you not try and make a effort to get a higher paying job? Why wouldn’t you try?

Why is it when you want a simple check up it’s upward if $500 but when you have a heart attack there no questions about money or if you can pay for it?

A question I had was I wonder what it would look like if you were to compare the minimum wage from state to state versus the cost of living in those states?

I feel like it would be harder to have a family when making minimum wage. From what we’ve seen in the video, you quickly spend a lot of money on kids and it takes away a lot of your earnings. It also causes arguments between money and spending. It would be a lot harder to save money for things such as rent, bills and just other things you’re really need to get by.

I thought Aiden brought up a good question about why we can’t raise minimum wage. I feel like it would be good to discuss potential consequences of doing so.

It’s hard too say like oh it’s super hard to get out of minimum wage based off the film because they didn’t try to get jobs at higher paying places, so it’s hard too understand once again, why would you not attempt to go somewhere or clean yourself up and get a better paying job?

Another question I had was, in the video, we seen the line for people who needed medication that couldn’t afford it. They get it for free but, they decide to cut off to a certain amount of people. So those who are behind the cut off, what are they supposed to do?

Something I forgot is different states have more taxes and expenses. For example Oregon has no sales tax but Nevada does. That can another variable for their situation.

A question I have is how do single parents with more then 2 kids make minimum wage a living wage?

One thing that comes up a lot is the tension within a minimum wage household and how more residents affect it. When there’s more people more money is being made but there are more costs and argument. For example one person in the inner circle mentioned how when the couple had their kids over they began arguing more over things that they weren’t (two buns).

Another way minimum wage keeps people in poverty is the fact that minimum wage jobs are typically more laborious and increase the chances of sustaining and injury. Pair that with the lack of insurance and the medical bills will be through the roof.

I am wondering if it was possible to live in the 2009s, when the minimum wage was fixed at $8 or less?

I wonder if its worth it if you’re living in such poverty to move to an area like Texas if you can.

A question that I really want to find the answer to is how to get out of a minimum wage job.  What’s the secret? It could be that you need to go back to college but that would take years of saving up and saving up is almost impossible when working a minimum wage job. Honestly, I feel like the best way to get out of a minimum wage life would be to make outside connections that will help you out. An example of this would be making friends that can help you find a place to live or sometimes give you dinner. Another example would be connecting with a local church which would give you many benefits such as caring people that will help you out financially and maybe donate things to you. Something that could have made the discussion more constructive would be that a lot of questions were being asked but not as many were being answered.
