[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ever read “Nickel and Dined in America”? Regular workers spend most of their paychecks on food housing and transportation. All provided by the host family. [/quote]

This is tiresome. You read the MA opinion and any bill of rights and you’ll see why that’s wrong. But intuitively too, remember the days of the company store? When factory workers worked and then paid rent to sleep in the company housing and then bought food and clothes in the company store? You know that’s illegal, right? We call indentured... oh why bother [/quote]
You live in a dream world. Most low paid workers spend it all on food housing transportation and the occasional doctor bill. It adds up. But if you can’t get that those are expenses you must still be living with Mom. Poor Mom. [/quote]

These are not low paid workers, you momster. They are young people, often well educated, on a cultural exchange program. You don’t get to make the rules to suit you since you decide who gets what based on keeping people in adequate poverty. Luckily at least in DC the days are numbered. [/quote]
