Just saw this on Twitter. An awesome idea for players who are stuck and for DMs to foster more involvement from your party in the world.

Heads up, as this has become crazy popular; I’ve now included a link to the original post on twitter on the word “this”, go send him some love.
Minimum Wage should be indexed to 2% of a city’s median rent.
And here’s why:
Housing costs are the single biggest financial burden facing Americans today.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development define being cost-burdened as spending more than a third of your income on rent. By that definition, over half of the households in this country are cost-burdened. Source
If we want people to be able to afford to live in cities and not get priced out, we have to make a two pronged approach. One is to build houses towards all incomes and price ranges, not just luxury condos. And the other is a robust wage floor so people can actually afford to live.
Fight for 15 is doing an amazing job and I love them, but we have to realize that is quite a few places, $15/hr still isn’t enough to live on.
Which is where the 2% comes in. It allows a minimum wage that is flexible with regards to the costs of living.
And it wasn’t plucked out of thin air either:
Rent should be a third of a persons income, or to restate the equation: income should be three times a person’s rent.
And since a full time job is 8 hrs a day / 40 hrs a week / 160 hrs a month.
So when you do the math, the ideal hourly minimum wage as a percentage of rent works out to around 1.875%, which for ease of calculation is 2%.
Example minimum wages under a 2% rent rule:
San Francisco: $67.40/hr
New York City: $56/hr
Boston: $55.94/hr
Los Angeles: $27/hr
Houston: $21.38/hr
St. Louis: $18.22/hr
Billings, MT: $17.16/hr
I. That puts San Fran’s cost-of-living issue into perspective.
Lemme tell y’all about this app called PictureThis
It’s a plant identifier, you take a picture of a plant and the app will automatically identify it for you! All of the plants you put in the app upload to a feed (it’s like a social media) so if the app can’t identify it for some reason, people in the community can!
There’s also a map that shows the plants you and other people have found, and on your profile, it keeps a log of how many plants you’ve collected!
I just really love this app and i think it’ll be really useful for us witches! 💞✨🔮
Griffin: Wow, I can’t believe I spent three years and over 70 episodes carefully weaving a beautiful tapestry of narrative that was lighthearted and funny but also beautifully touching and inspirational while wrangling my dickhead family into line and also doing all the editing and music composition. I hope you all understand that I need to take a vacation so we’re gonna do some mini-arcs for a while so I can have a break from DMing :) :) :)
Griffin, literally four (4) episodes later: Alright give me my fucking podcast back I thought of season 2
So I heard Witchblr loves meme magick (I mean it’s easy, fun and hey at worst, your reblog doesn’t happen). Well I’m to offer something a bit more fun. Here’s The Luck Dragon, an egregore I made with a friend of mine, to help us find and be drawn towards the lost monies that people drop or no longer want. Lucky Dragon also brings an abundance of luck as a side effect of the money. Now I could just say reblog and get your free luck (which Lucky doesn’t mind doing) or you could take an extra step and have it become an entity to work with and gain further wealth/luck. The Catch: Lucky was designed based on memetics and financial growth. What this means is, if you make an alter (a bowl/home for your dragon and it’s loot) buy your own Lucky Dragon (whatever in your mind the lucky dragon looks like, it’s a shapeshifter, btw), and make it a daily effort to empty all your change into the bowl and to follow your gut instinct if you sense loose change. Not only this but after you feel up the bowl completely, use that money to buy a bigger bowl or a bigger statue for itself, I mean it did do half the work. With your old dragon and/or bowl, you can either keep it or give it to someone else, which sorta acts like a memetic ponzi scheme, the more people you show the more you feed the egregore known as The Lucky Dragon.
So, it’s up to you, If you want a simple one time luck spell, like+reblog but if you want a slower but longer amounts of luck and wealth flow, get your own dragon and make sure to feed it and let it’s money be spent on any magickal or necessary life needs.
Final Note: Make sure you don’t hoard the money. Money and luck is a living entity that needs to be free and moving. This is why I suggest buying a bigger statue/home for the dragon. I also use this money to help out friends or people who may need it. Also you can use the bowl itself to charge any coins you need, making you carry “tokens of luck” at all times. It can be invoked to get rid of clumsiness or any bad luck as well as to find money. I have even evoked it when I went to a casino and gained a profit of $40 (made $60 but spent $20 on alcohol). To make money, involves spending money. This means that money is an entity which lives through movement, the Luck Dragon acts as that entity to help you begin that journey and go beyond it. It gives you a place to save small amounts of money, but also a place to start investing. The Euros in the picture is my first steps into the Forex Market, which I’ve been holding off for a while now; but Lucky kicked my ass into gear and I went and bought some. Hopefully this may be the beginning of a new adventure in my life, but with that being said, I hope this will help you all with your financial goals.
