Topic	Should you be able to live off minimum wage?

Yes, but the whole point of the discussion is that overtime shouldn't be needed, particularly where overtime isn't a thing in many jobs. Full-time work at minimum wage should be enough to get by reasonably comfortably (that is, basic necessities taken care of and enough left over for life to not completely suck). Overtime (whether at a higher rate of pay or just the extra hours) should be a bonus on top of that to add some extra cash to the coffers, not something that's necessary to pick up minimum wage's slack. --- This is my signature.
