the problem with this poverty line thing is that this is different
for a single person and a family with children
I have already shown that it is perfectly possible for a single
person to live a reasonable life on NMW (assuming that the job is a
permanent full time one)
But the same amount is never going to be sufficient for a family
That's very arguable depending on what they rent and how many kids
they have.
But you can't realistically suggest that all jobs have to pay an
amount sufficient for a family
Some countrys have done that.

It's a nonsense
Nope.
OK... So...
1. How much is "sufficient" for a family of four (2 children) in the UK?
Not possible to say. The way people live is so radically
different even with a specific group like that one.
Just for clarity, let's posit a location in... er... Birmingham.
Even doing that doesnt help. Even if you just restrict it to Benefits
Street.
2. Explain why a single teenager is worth the same amount for serving
in a café which is not making a huge profit.
Never said they were.
Sorry... faulty editing on my part... this was meant for "tim...".
