In my country (Italy) buying a house is impossible without help of your family or being one of the few fortunate who earn a lot. But, you can rent and have a decent life if you don't care to live in a small city with only the minimum salary (1000€). Now in Milan a room cost 1000 so if you don't earn a shit load of money forget to have a normal life. Edit: as far as I know people just move out from the cities if they can't afford it. I haven't heard of people living in cars at least not in amounts to be noticeable.

Wow, I didn't know it os that difficult to live with a minimum wage in a mayor city in US.

I think the same, what I mean is that the people who do these horrible jobs is because they don't have any choice. If the government do something like you said it would be different but before that happens a lot of people could finish on the streets.

Well, they have to eat somehow.

I am enjoying how everyone is trying to justify and minimize the article when if facebook did the same they where calling to burn the house of zuckerberg.

I haven't touch chrome since became a black hole of ram. Nowadays Firefox is not only more lightweight but also doesn't steal all your data.
