    Ahh yes, California, a state that pays more, AND in LA, where wages are WAY higher because cost of living is way higher…

    Thank you for describing why your anecdote is an outlier and DEFINITELY doesn’t prove any norm.

      Where did I say it was the norm??? You called someone a liar for giving an anecdote. Outliers do happen…

        They’re a liar for attempting to use an anecdote to disprove a trend. That’s basic, basic manipulation tactics. Manipulation is wrong, misleading, and arguably lying when misusing data.
