They talked about things like how "electrolites" in Gatorade basically just meant salt and gave the odds of winning those contests you see on the back of cereal boxes. They even did a piece on the Nickolodean "super toy run" that we all wanted to win when we were growing up.
The best part was that they were all programs geared towards educating kids.

Look, I'm not going to argue with you over whether or not most Americans are retards. I agree with that statement, as much as you just love to repeat it.
The fact of the matter is, minimum wage is not a living wage. If you're being paid minimum wage, then you can't support yourself without doing other things to fill in the gaps. Minimum wage is supposed to cover that according to the government but it doesn't.
And regarding your self sufficiency: no one actually needs money to live. I'm sure I could live a long life (barring any health issues) without making any money at all. The point here is that I would have to do other things.
When it was stated above that minimum wage was a living wage, I just wanted to point out that it's not. If you don't agree with me, go and look up "living wage" and educate yourself before you come in to do nothing but egotistically point out how your flawless logic and applied determination can solve all the world's problems. You can't even fill out a budget properly.
And speaking of budgets: I really don't care which stupid fucking political bullshit you adhere to. I don't subscribe to any political party philosophy at all but it doesn't change the fact that if either of us get a minimum wage job anywhere, they're going to take the taxes out before they pay you your check. The manager of McDonald's isn't going to come out of his office and ask, "OK, how many dirt-bike-riding libertarians are working here? Cause I wanna' be sure not to take your taxes out of your check."

My $70 Target bike is 15 months old and has approximately 1500 miles on it with no maintenance whatsoever (except inflating tires with a hand pump). It still works adequately. I ride it rain or shine. Can usually avoid the most torrential rains by staying late. Torrential rains in the morning are quite rare. Protecting it from thieves requires a lock that is nearly as expensive as the bike itself.

Do you ride to work in the rain? Because nobody I know rides their bike in the rain. So what then, call in sick every time it rains? That wouldn't fly at my job.
By the way, don't you have to pay for the bike? Even assuming you're all paid off, you'd have to account for it in your budget at some point in your life. 600cc bikes aren't exactly cheap. And what about maintenance? Tires, plugs, oil, brakes, etc? I know, I know... you maintain it yourself right? Because you're so self sufficient. Well then who pays for the tools? Who pays for the replacement parts? Well, we'll have to figure that into your budget as well. (Unless of course you got them from www.wegiveawayfreetoolsandbikeparts.com)
So, now that we've figured in the cost of your bike and the maintenance, what about everything else you already own? I'm assuming that you cook your $10-a-day food supply in pots and pans? And then you eat it on plates? With silverware? Do you use oil to cook your meat and vegetables in? Well at what point in your life do you figure all of that stuff into your budget? Let's move on:
You can't work anywhere without keeping yourself clean (arguably anyway
Now I hope you don't have any sort of health problems at all. Otherwise you're looking at pretty high costs for medication: asthma inhaler, insulin, etc. Speaking of insulin, I hope you're not a diabetic, because that's gonna throw that whole menu you listed right out the window.
OK, I have to get back to work but I just need to point out one more thing:
I checked th math you did for your yearly budget. It's correct, but you seemed to have left out one major thing in your budget: TAXES.
Let me guess, where you live there are no taxes right?
