Total amount
$1,038.00
Goal
$1,038.00
The New Zealand minimum wage will be $18.90 an hour in 2020. That's about $12.10 in American dollars.

The US minimum wage is $7.25, although some states have a more generous one.

If both parents work full time, child care also should be included in the budget.

You can eliminate a new virus that only a few people are infected with. Quarantine them until it is eliminated.

Viruses like the polio virus have been virtually eliminated from the USA.

The flu is a general term for a number of different viruses that mutate into new strains every year. Its tough to eliminate because so many people have it. Those with strong immune systems tend to insist on going about their daily activities when they are contagious, because it is only a minor nuisance to them. Parents send their children to school sick because they can't afford to take a few days off work to care for them at home. It soon spreads to hundreds of their classmates. Ditto for people going to work sick. Its just not taken seriously by people with strong immune systems, and tens of thousands of vulnerable people are zapped every year because of this attitude. Many people won't even get a flu shot to protect the vulnerable, because they themselves are in no danger from the flu. They won't do it to protect other people.
Flu vaccines help a bit. They are not a total solution. People staying home from work and school when they are contagious would help too. As well as making Tamiflu OTC and thus inexpensive to obtain.

Yet no one suggest a quarantine on the flue ,get shots each year even if the batch is years old.hmmm that's my,point and my,wife can't take tammiflu.

My asthma makes any, congestion worse
 
Yet no one suggest a quarantine on the flue...

People should stay home from work, school, or shopping while they are contagious. Its all voluntary though. Many won't do it to protect others. Many won't even get a flu shot to protect others.

Maybe they should do the quarantine thing globally for a year or two. They might eliminate the flu, which zaps 500,000 or so people per year globally. It would have to be global though. Otherwise it would spread again. No one has the power to enforce a global quarantine, so it doesn't get done.

You don't breathe/cough on the public when throwing papers, or reading meters. That's not the kind of job that would require you to stay home. Its people who deal with the public who should be careful not to cough on them.

A general quarantine would be worked out in advance, as far as compensatory pay. Whole cities are locked down in China right now. They are surviving.

I'm sure they are looking money and we are from that .

Who would pay you for time lost at work ?most Americans are one paycheck away from bankruptcy.

There is family tax credits here for families on lower incomes.

Why should the tax payer be responsible for paying for someone else's children?. If people cannot afford to raise there own children then don't have a baby. It's so simple. People should look at there situation before they have unsafe relations or plan to have a baby. It's so simple.

There are only a limited amount of fair situations like for example some in a working family lost a job or something due to unfortunate circumstances so the family need some financial support. That's half there wage gone so it's understandable.

So a job should then only rich should fall in love ,have children.
I personally know to mechanics who can't outside of help from others make it and they work hard.one lives with his mom.the other has an apt but why have his wife work simply togive her income to the day care.?he does side jobs to make extra.its not so simple .

Bankers have systematically confiscated purchasing power from regular people's paychecks and pensions. They give the loot to rich hedge fund managers and such. The rich get richer, and the majority go backward.

Various lobbyists have added to this process by making select items needlessly expensive.

An honest dollar and return to free market capitalism would help the average person to finally go forward again.

That's all it comes down to, not relying on others to pay.

Your BBC Article-"Undercover officers, posing as like-minded extremists, had Chowdhury under surveillance during a five-month operation..."

London doesn't have the resources to deal with this situation. 5 months of undercover officers' salaries are pricey. The rich don't want to pay for it anymore. Many terrorists are not being caught before they act. Brexit may help a bit, as the EU can't force them to accept thousands of new potential terrorists each year.

BBC said:
Second on the unmarried chicken shop worker's list was to meet and consummate his relationship with 72 wives.

Frequently terrorists and bombers are unmarried, with few prospects for obtaining a wife. They are promised 72 wives by ISIS and such, if they do the terrorism thing.
