Quinn to live on minimum wage for one week

[RandySF]

1. No, he won't know first hand.

His heart may be in there right place, but there is no way he could every fully comprehend. He knows that it will be over next week. And he knows that, if the cash in his wallet runs out, he has plenty of money in the bank and won't know the anxiety of living with no safety net.

I call bullshit on the whole thing because THESE JOBS were never meant to be used to support families or even just survive. When I was growing up, kids went to work for McDonalds or delivered pizzas for spending money, develop some basic work skills (like showing up on time) or save up for the upcoming college semester. The minimum wage needs to go up, but the very fact we have to have this discussion just shows how screwed we Americans are.
