| Message | A minimum wage is like the US minimum wage: you can live on it, but barely. You can buy food, and rent substandard housing. But you're SOL on issues like health care, education, and transportation. The "living wage," by contrast, is designed to ensure full time workers can afford health care, etc. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
