On 14 bucks an hour? It's tough Walrus. I know a few people living in London and they only get by living in a single room of a house. How are you supposed to get married, raise a family or do anything normal? It's rubbish. Then you end up with teachers, ordinary public school teachers, unable to live there and having to commute from an hour to two hours just to get to work each day. It looks like no way to live. It would wear anyone down.

It's okay for you with money Walrus, you can do what you like and pop into New York for a week stay in a nice hotel and do whatever, but for those doing all the jobs that keep the city running. They are paid a pittance for what they do and that is why I am an economic socialist. Not a cultural socialist, but a traditional, normal economic one.
