Flint, Mich Median income: $22,672??
That is nuts...I was making more than that in the 1980s...
How in hell can these people survive on 1980s wages?
And throw in sky high winter energy bills??
That’s nuts.
You forget that most of these people have all their necessities paid for by the taxpayers - food stamps, free medical care, public education for the kiddies (yes, bad education, but it’s free to them), meals for the kiddies at school, paid or subsidized utilities and housing, and even a “free” cell phone.
Now $22,672 isn’t much, but if all your bills are paid, it does allow one to buy some really cool Nikes.
