    Stupid question . “Do you agree” with these numbers, or do you choose to instead go by your feelings of how the numbers ought to be, perhaps pick your own? Or perhaps would sir care to attack the study itself?

      I agree with these numbers. You seem to be the one reacting emotionally by attacking my character immediately.

        They’re not though. They’re responding to the headline which starts with: “do you agree?”.

      Depends. I think there’s a lot context missing to make any good judgment. For the average of the whole state? Maybe. For what you need to be able to afford the minimum? No. $25 an hour is $50k gross a year. You can definitely get by with less if you’re single, even around metro Atlanta. Toss in a kid and a spouse? That’s probably about right. All it says is “household” though. Not an amount of people.

      Move to some place more rural and you could probably get by with less.
