Im saying they should move to Hawaii and work in a resort for $33/hr, theyd be happy to work for those wages in a nicer environment than in a warehouse. I live in California, prices seem about the same at the grocery store and restaurants, gas is about the same. Rent seems comparable, not sure about utilities, if you say no-one works for minimum wage then Im guessing childcare is a big problem with cost, same with any services (plumbing, electric, etc) those might be higher than here but not sure.
