Man these people need to start rioting, why the fuck are you lot rolling over

even more reason to riot

The system is set up such that if you lose your job you lose your health insurance, for you and your children.

And if you miss a paycheck you’re toast. Probable eviction notice in the future. Paycheck to paycheck living is real, even more so in the post 2020 world.

paycheck to paycheck isn't "the system", or there's no way 40% of people would be able to avoid it

Specific to the USA "70-78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck" source

[-] spacesatan@lazysoci.al 1 points 3 months ago

I'm guilty of it too but most people living paycheck to paycheck could avoid it. Bottom thirdish is definitely stuck in the poverty trap but most could cut their expenses if they tried.

Bootlicker spotted.

If everybody just worked harder, we wouldn't have poor people 🤡

American here: worked jobs from digging ditches to writing software... This only happens if you let it.

If it's offered and it's free, check the times with the boss, if a reasonable reschedule (like "I'd really like you with me in a meeting at 10, can you take the 11 appt? Sure.) , Do it. Else, keep the appt and have your employment docs on hand for reference as needed.
