We should be fighting for the following when we define a living wage, not just "can pay rent and eat a food":

1. Normal standard of living.
2. High enough to make morality possible.
3. Provide for education.
4. Provide for recreation.
5. Provide for childcare.
6. Maintain these things during periods of illness or infirmity.
7. Permit reasonable savings for old age.
8. Hours sufficient to recuperate before returning to work.
9. At *least* one full day off a week.
