    Meanwhile Idaho right next door is still at the federal $7.25 minimum wage. How Idaho border town min wage jobs stay staffed I have no idea.

      Probably employs the same people Donald Trump is calling animals and wants kicked out of the country, or worse. And when they succeed those towns are going to crumble.

      When wages go up, so does rent.

      You’re not actually make more money. Your landlords are.

      Edit: Sad this gets downvoted, but it’s a testament to how most people are proud to be useful idiots these days.

      They just can’t see the bigger picture, lol.

        That’s not how supply and demand work at all. Otherwise why would median monthly rent in Spokane, Washington be $1395 while median rent in Coeur d’Alene across the border in Idaho is $1800, given that the minimum wage is more than double in the former compared to the latter?
