[Justin54B20L]

Looks pretty good so far. Plus they're in Columbus for their first city, go Ohio with your 3 city's in the the top 20 poorest in the nation!

Bush!

6. god bless america

:eyes:

[redsoxliberal]

7. yup

[Justin54B20L]

8. And they're having a rough time in Ohio, where cost of living is..

significantly lower than most other parts of the country.

That healthcare situation is a bitch.

[Dukkha]

9. I'm in Columbus, I wish I could see this.

but I'm stuck at work.

[Justin54B20L]

11. Do'h, that sucks, maybe they'll have a repeat on sometime later

so you can catch it.

It is really good so far.

[Deja Q]

10. Do they force corporate execs to live life on mini. wage in that show?

Or is it another emotional mindfuck to keep the sheeple thinking inside the box?

[Justin54B20L]

12. No unfortunately, though that would be something to watch.

Its just a documentary by a couple who try to make it 30 days each in different cities by living solely at the minimum wage level. I.e. how a vast portion of the U.S. population lives daily.

They're just trying to show how extremely difficult it is to live paycheck to paycheck, and pointing out how important governmental/volunteer services is to a lot of Americans very survival.

[AbbeyRoad]

13. I hope they show this again

I missed a good chunk of it.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

14. Its amazing and so sad (spoiler)

They couldn't make it cause of health care basically. fucking awful :grr:

[Justin54B20L]

15. Yeah, I know. Like he said, its "bullshit."

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

16. exactly

bullshit

[graywarrior]

17. Great show. Been there, so it hit home a little to close

[Suich]

18. This is brutal!

Too bad it's not on "Network TV"

[AwakeAtLast]

19. I am loving the stuff Morgan Spurlock does.

I think I could watch him a lot. This was a very good start to this series. Better than most "reality" shows.

[leftofthedial]

20. I saw part of it and thought it was terrific

they really hammered home the social injustice

[sasquatch]

21. Did anyone see that dumb fuck from the Heritage foundation?

I'd like to break that dumb fuck in half.

[friesianrider]

22. Nickel and Dimed...

MUST read.

[sakabatou]

23. Man, what a horrible life

At least the animation made me laugh. Especially the babies w/ mustaches.

[Not_Giving_Up]

24. Try life on unemployment

That's worse. I know, FX should come and see me.

Seriously, I meant to watch it, but I wasn't home.
