Name one state where someone making minimum wage can afford an apartment, food, healthcare, and utilities, and some form of transportation. I think it's fair to say that if you can't, that counts as poverty.

Who says that's the point of minimum wage? That's where we disagree.

If you're agreeing that anyone living on that wage is in poverty, I think it's fair to call it a poverty wage.
