Erendira Achati Keriti needed winter clothes, but she knew she couldn't afford to buy them new.
She managed to save enough money to buy second-hand garments, only to find they'd already been snapped up by the time she made it back to the thrift store.
Keriti, a 39-year-old Toronto resident, said she struggles financially despite the fact she is employed.
She's one of a number of low-wage workers who have trouble making ends meet and who believe Canadian provinces need to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
While Alberta has pledged to raise the minimum wage to $15 by October 2018, others have declined to follow.
Quebec will raise its minimum wage to $11.25 from $10.75 on Monday — a hike Keriti and several other workers interviewed by The Canadian Press say is insufficient.

you will hate me for this but the minimum wage is one of the most detrimental laws to a free market capitalist society
for example, if you are poor uneducated a minimum wage prevents companies from hiring you to preform simple tasks or even on the job training
fix the education system, remove the minimum wage and the free market will elevate people out of poverty for you

>Humanity couldn't bear war with North Korea
Give me a break. North Korea doesn't import or export, and they're a tiny, piece-of-shit country that could be wiped off the map with ease. Their military isn't strong. America could easily swoop in for a swift kill and surrender.
Let's overtake North Korea, so we can have both Koreas.

I think the point was to see how many people responded to the title versus people who actually read the post.
So far the ratio is high in favor of actual reading comprehension, a heartening sight.
