Meh. If you've seen one overweight ass crack, you've seen them all.
It depends a bit on the outfit the butt crack goes along with :p

I work in a shop, I have minimum wage, and if I calculate it from euros to dollars it would be 11.27 dollars. I live in a big city where live is not always cheap, but we manage quite fine because boyfriend makes a good wage, basically my job pays for the luxuries like holidays.
Honestly, I can't imagine how anyone with a family or even a single person could make it trough the month on 9 dollars, it is very little.
Yes but because of two incomes. Could you make it on one job by yourself with no help? Don't get me wrong, if it works for both of you that's ok, but not ideal for everyone.
Livable wages should not force people to combine incomes it should be based on if you were single because relationships don't always last.
I know, and that is pretty much my point. I am fine because minimum wages here are a bit higher, plus I pay nothing for health insurance because it gets payed for via taxes I pay and the social system here. I work 30 hours a week, and I could live of that on my own. The higher minimum wage would give me time to educate myself better and find a better payed job if I wanted to.
I understand that many people in the US work 60 hours a week, in really crappy payed jobs. They have no time left to spend with their families or get better educated. Apparently people say that poor people should just work harder, to me it seems that people who say this do not understand the situation these people are in.
*edit* Maybe "manage quite fine", like I said in my earlier post, was an understatement :p
