      Some who discount our proposals by saying “reps from urban & suburban areas don’t get other places” don’t seem to apply that consideration themselves. A $50k threshold is totally disconnected from the reality of tens of millions of people. So let’s talk Queens & West Virginia:

      The borough of Queens has a higher population than the entire state of West Virginia. We should do what helps both instead of one. If we cut relief checks to account for higher cost of living, BOTH Queens & West Virginia get help. WV actually comes out ahead due to lower COL.

      If you use West Virginia cost of living #s to bring down relief for everyone, millions are left in the cold. That’s what $50k does. Cutting checks to account for Queens/higher COL overall is a win-win. Lower COL get more bang for their buck, higher COL get their needs met.

          Then how come you want the minimum wage to be the same everywhere?

          Maybe we should limit the role of federal government, because it’s impossible to apply the same rules to such a vast and diverse country....
