Average in the US for a 2 bedroom is $1317 per statista.
Triple that for a monthly income = $3951
x12 for annual = $47,412
/2080 for hourly full time = $22.79/hr
A 1 bedroom (or 2br with a $200/mo UBI) at $1100ish brings the minimum to $19ish.
A 2 bedroom but working 60hrs/week or using 50% of income on rent instead of 33% is around $15/hr.
Just trying to play around with the numbers to see what a real political proposal might look like. Feels great to meme a declaration, people start disagreeing when you start putting numbers to it.
"Have more kids to save the culture" seems 100% at odds with saving the planet, as does expending 51 tons of CO2 to make the statement.
If everyone lived like Elon the planet would be ruined and the only hope would be colonizing Mars...but there's no way to get everyone off the planet, especially if we have 11 kids each.
I just don't see a coherent ideology except "save the planet long enough for me to off it."
I thought 35%ish in the US was bad. 56% in Russia is one of the more shocking stats I've seen about their inequality.
