People used to be able to do all that solo working as a janitor.

I work as a janitor and I can't even fucking feed myself all the time.

Not to punch down, but that is a sign to:

unionize
do something else (this will limit supply of labor, helping to increase wages)

Sorry that it sucks.

Did you just suggest this guy should become unemployed to increase the wages? 😭 Also unemployment decreases wages, labor is perpetually a buyer's market

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

No. He should find another job that pays enough he can eat daily.

I imagine that if they had better options available rn they'd do it, the job market ain't looking too good. Anyway not looking to argue, just thought it was a funny thing to say

I'm literally going to have to cut back on eating for the next couple weeks because I haven't gotten many hours recently. On the flip side I've been meaning to lose weight so it looks like that was my chance
