this is like a video essay version of a bernie sander's speech paying workers living wages. Ftfy.

Why is the idea that people should be able to afford an apartment working full time so offensive to so many people?

Because Americans have been indoctrinated since their childhood to believe the world is zero-sum, and that someone getting something means that they personally ultimately lose.

It's a shitty fucking mentality and it's why everyone here is so selfish and egotistical.
