Few as heads of household, probably fewer still trying to run a business like his pillow stuff. But feel free to donate your earnings over 48,000/year to others so that your virtue signal becomes virtuous instead of staying virtual.
Depends tho. I've been broke ass for years. I never had huge income, so my monthly bills were never built around huge income. If Mike had been doing really well, his expenses would reflect that level of income. To lose that income suddenly wouldn't reduce the bills - so yes, it's a hardship for him.
When you say stuff like this, do you realize the median family income for Minnesota is $56,000 or were you just eager to call someone virtue signaling for pointing out the very apparent and prevalent reality for many…
Not to mention the hairbrained suggestion of donating one’s income to support another, when the point was many individuals make this much and sustain themselves and their family without the support or donation of others salary.
Because people, like you, dismiss hardship. I personally knew a guy who made $10 an hour from 1992 to his death in 2018. Therefore everyone who makes more than $10 an hour in 2025 is living on easy street. Spot the virtue signal, yet?
This guy isn't just a random ass McDonald's employee who owns $25 worth of furniture in the apartment he shares with his two friends, he was broken by the system that's trying to break the world over it's knee. His income is trying to keep his family, business, and legal fund going after he fought, indirectly, for us all and lost hard.
So your anecdotal story compares to the STATE FAMILY MEDIAN INCOME, where the majority of Minnesota lives just like this… are you kidding me? Do you think the average Minnesota family’s income is from a father working for McDonalds?? Do you not understand what “family” or “median” means? Are you a liberal?
There isn’t any virtue signaling, it’s just factual information about the average income of a family in Minnesota and your anecdotal story you have to offer. It’s not even comparable, not to mention, your anecdotal story could be made up.
There are plenty patriots living on less

That was my point, really.
Yep
