They would suck lobbyist cock for $20 a pop until they were millionaires.
spontaneous9
With ZERO health insurance. For a couple DECADES. Bet it'd be a smash hit.
JeremyPeevin
Only the one who wins gets back all their wealth too. All the others are bankrupt with $50k in student loans and $100k in hospital debt.
vierik
I'd settle for them fighting to death
Cavalrysword
I like it! I REALLY like it.
HommeDeFeu
Easy there Phillip J Fry
Miller16of16
Elimination on a challenge = "fired" and have to apply for unemployment/ public assistance. If they can stay off the street they get >
Miller16of16
re-instated to the game.
munchmunchmunch
And “work their way through college”.
kwspare021
if they say that is enough to live they should have no problem!!
AKallDay
YES! And they need to care for a loved one with medical issues, pay back a student loan, buy a house, or get a better education
AKallDay
Rid them of their phone numbers, contacts , notoriety, and bank accounts. No calling in for favors or borrowing money.
livetotroll
How bout we make someone who’s on minimum wage a politician instead?
downwithJesus
I volunteer as tribute. May the experiment last my lifetime and may I never choose between medication and groceries again.
CrzyCtLdy79
In an inner city area where cops rarely go and the roads r torn up.
4g63tevo
Not just live on minimum wage, work on minimum wage.
DigiT00l
And not just 16, all of them
Miller16of16
And raise a 6 year old without being referred to CPS
kjtodd11
Spoiler: you freaking can’t. I make about twice and I’m single, still struggling to afford a car. I’m also paying tuition though, but still
grapesofwrath1120
This would pull a HUGE audience.
Bananasareagovconspiracy
Let’s get 16 politicians, put them on an island, and then film something else instead.
activeracer28
Career politicians should never earn more than 10% over the average middle class wage. You can't speak for the people when your in a castle.
downwithJesus
Specifically the median average >:D
mastercontributhor
Amen.
jonathantoast
That would make them even easier for billionaires to buy.
ArdentSlacker
and then, with obvious proof of bribery, you execute them for treason. You'll either end up with politicians who are honest, or suicidal.
BlazeMarshall
And easier to identify when that happens.
Absurdturd6969
Especially after there were people literally sleeping in todays impeachment hearings.. Imagine falling asleep at your job?!
ILikedTheirOldStuffBetter
A few year ago, a handful of U.S. congressmen actually volunteered to try this. They all dropped out after less than a week.
unsuspectingbystander
Source?
PhailRaptor
Probably because they genuinely thought it was possible, then realized it wasn't. But admitting that would destroy their credibility.
xizar
Politicians have already tried (and failed) the $4/day foodstamp challenge.
nibbley
I think that's a great idea. politicians should always live at the lowest level they allow the general citizens.
DavidBrooker
Wait, *what*? Survivor is still going? I've honestly never heard of the show since, like, 2004. I assumed it was cancelled a decade ago.
PhailRaptor
Yup. They also had a sex crime occur, too. Fun times.
Bizarkly
Can you believe that one woman got voted off with *two* idols in her pocket, tho? SMH...
jetflight
Over here, a politician actually did it. One month, on the absolute minimum. Survived, but as he put it, would've gotten tough going longer.
Jackofslayers
I think at least for the USA we should pay politicians more. Like a lot lot more. I know probably not popular but I want better politicians
glovelyday
They must use public transit, and remember Donald...no food stamps!
sweetbabypeasitsme
Or health insurance!
ShutTheFrontDoors
Nah, if they can afford to buy a car + gas with their minimum wage, then they can drive. But they can’t bring in cars from before it starts.
BahamutBBob
First, they had to find a Pontiac dealership, which was not easy, then, they said "I'll take an Aztek for $400." Then they gave the salesman
BahamutBBob
$400 and he gave them the keys to a brand new Pontiac Aztek.
cipherhyperwriter4
They did this as an experiment once that I read of. People were recruited from wealth to live under the conditions common to poverty.
cipherhyperwriter4
And they all quit before the experiment ended because it was too hard.

Cory Booker has done this

He doesn't even know what he says, let alone anyone else!
BrazilianThunderPanda
Next Survivor season I’d be ok with contestants not inappropriately touching other contestants in their sleep. #LookingAtYouUncleFingers
schnager
Surprised it didn't happen sooner
Fundoplication
Or apparently members of the production team off camera
mbangr
Or just kicking him off when it happened the first time
IWantToMakeCrazyScienceWithYou
^this. She was crying about it and they didn’t think that warranted and expulsion from the game!?!
CongratsYouAreHereNow
jeff probst and the producers like to have their cake and eat it too. that producer said "tell me if anything makes you uncomfortable,
CongratsYouAreHereNow
and we'll do something" AS THE FREAKING GIRL WAS TELLING THEM SHE WAS UNCOMFORTABLE. the show likes to pander to viewers instead of doing
CongratsYouAreHereNow
what is actually right. i think they thought they could keep him on and get more emmy awards by "starting a conversation" than by just
CongratsYouAreHereNow
removing him in the first place. it's probably that he did it to a member of production that was the last straw, because they know they can
slinkhi
I maintain that if you want to have a seat in the house or senate, you must have no other income besides minimum wage.

thanatos777
So... only rich people get to be in the House or Senate?
AskingTheRealQuestions
Yes, we need more billionaires who don't need the salary,because they'll make bank from enriching themselves through policymaking/corruption
AcquiredSire
It should be proportional to it in some way. If they want a raise they have to raise minimum wage.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
this sounds good, but do you want a bunch of un-experienced, uneducated people running the government?
CongratsYouAreHereNow
and i'm not saying everyone that earns minimum wage is uneducated. or that the experience that current politicians have is good
DeportAllConservatives
The problem with this is that people who are already rich can just go "yeah sure. No other income for all of 2-6 years. Easy."
slinkhi
That's disposable income. Not allowed in my world.
DeportAllConservatives
Then i wish to live in your world.
slinkhi
Govt by the people, for the people, needs to be OF the people.
