Minimum wage is almost half the estimated living wage in CA for a single working adult. Living Wage Calculator - Living Wage Calculation for California. My source.
Rent is by far not the only expense you need to account for. Essentials in California were already higher than a considerable portion of the rest of the country BEFORE the massive inflation spike this decade and it’s only getting worse. The minimum wage there is certainly more generous than most states, but it is not adjusting proportionally just like everywhere else.
Damn, dawg. That’s a pretty damning justification for shoving great personal sacrifice onto others. That’s the kind of thinking the Epstein class employs every day.
Based, but also selfish as fuck with all their coworkers out of work.
Should have paid them enough to live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You don’t know what the worker was being paid. You don’t know what the other workers were being paid. Being in CA it was a minimum of ~$17/hr.

There are $1500/m apartments on Zillow in that area. Less than that if you commute. Minimum wage covers that and more without even having a roommate.
Should they be paid more? Yes. They probably are. But this guy decided to put his coworkers at risk of homelessness which is the point I’m arguing.

Yeah, I don’t know what else to say to you aside from personal anecdotes of living in CA on minimum wage.
Fuck that guy. Hope he rots.
There were all of 20 people working. That would put the total employee numbers at what, 60-100 people max?
Relative to a second shot across the bow of the Epstein Class?
Priceless. Literally priceless. I feel for the 100 folks who have to find somewhere else to be exploited, but it’s not a difficult trade to accept.
