It's minimum wage in my country and many live with it. Where I live you can find a house with three bedrooms for €300 to €400.
Downside? Small, slow, semi rural, no jobs town. You have to commute to work.

As someone who grew up inputing passwords in Mega Drive games with one: there are worst things.
So, they're lazy.
No it wasn't and it never did.
The constitution itself allows for a very small group of individuals to control the entire country, from the first moment it was written.
It was never truly reviewed to allow a proper redistribution of voting power throughout all the states and it still allows for indirect election of the most powerful state figure, where it should instead by directly elected by popular vote.
The gerrymandering, the filibusting, two chambers system, common law system, etc.
The american government was never created to be a proper one; it was an emulation of the english system but even more botched.
The document itself should have been thrown in the trash and a new one written, the moment the civil war broke. And again it should had been trashed when the market crash happened.
There is only so much an ammendement can do.
Imagine if any country could manage itself, by thinking ahead and admiting bad actors could arise, thus preparing in advance for it.
I understand your take but it is not really hard to grab the basic mechanics and make a thriving city in any game.
The basic mechanics are universal.
What throws off the managing part is "enemies", "natural disasters" and other excitment mechanics.
A managed economy could happen and would be highly efficient, especially because running a nation is a collective endeavour. Individuals fail but groups have memory.
Under pressure for what?
It has already been stated that the import of food items, in detriment of the higher EU food standards, will not be negotiable.
Two simple examples: chicken and beef.
For beef, it would be as simple as stop pumping cattle with steroids and attest the origin of the animal, two things american rancher are unwilling and often unable to do. Argentina and Brasil sell meat to the EU. Isn't the US as capable?
Stop washing chicken with chemicals (likewise, eggs), treat the animals properly, with good sanitary conditions, no steroids, and it will be fine.
But the real issue is that the EU already produces enough beef and chicken indoors. And meat consumption has been in a sharp decline. No one will buy what they don't.
Besides these two, it would make a difference if the US stopped using artificial food colorings, with proven bad effects on health.
There are more issues.
Beet root boiling water is a very stubborn dye to wash off too.
Which the occupants can clean themselves.
Was that lamb properly cleaned? Sheep and goat have glands throughout the body that need to be removed in order to make the meat more palatable; it's still edible, just unpleaseant and smelly.
I personally prefer adult sheep or goat. The meat is very though and oily but slowly roasted, with strong herbs, it breaks down and becomes tender. The fat in the meat is superb to cook root vegetables in.
Nothing against horse; unusual nowadays but it helped a relative of mine to ward off a serious malnutrition, leading to low blood iron levels. Game meats are game meats. I personally enjoy boar but not being a hunter makes it hard to source such meats.
Nothing wrong, per se, just non sensical.
The animal does not have much to eat, the meat is though and very fatty and heavily scented. Also, unless it is "fat", it is not edible, leading to badgers in the area becoming leaner and more muscular.
Allso, it's a protected species.
I'm laic.
What beliefs a person holds to themselves is indiferent to me. And it should not matter to anyone. Relationships are a negotiated endeavour, from both parts, where everyone gives a little to reach a mutual understanding.
Unless a person subscribes views capable of leading to individual, personal and socially harmful and regressive thought and action, it does not matter.
Removing the religious view from your question: would you date a vegan, not being one? Would you date a non vegan, being yourself one?
Zealotry goes both ways. Both the believer and the non believer can entrench themselves in their views so deeply they become fanatics.
