The meme is a screenshot of a Twitter post by Wendi C. Thomas, a journalist, responding to a tweet that implies poverty-stricken workers can't afford to live. She sarcastically responds by saying "I don't know" (IDK) and then lists several common expenses that are often unaffordable for low-income workers, implying that they can't afford to live on the minimum wage.

@ Wendi C. Thomas @ @wendi_c_thomas IDK who needs to hear this, but poverty-wage workers cannot budget their way to economic stability. Offering financial literacy workshops when what they need is a living wage is insulting and immoral.
