This really puts to heart one of the issues with our current perception of minimum wage.
People will look at that and say... Yeah but they can afford to live and not realize that we have made a slave out of the worker who can neber better themselves or get more.
They have barely enough to have the barest essentials and tell them unironically to just better themselves or figure out how to be more productive and they can be rewarded while the reward just being a nicer endenturement.
The american experiment was to get people to be able to grow and develop more because of the new efficiency giving more spare money amd resources to create more. When you have more spare money you can buy more things at the end of the day.
Now its ablut how long can we keep it chugging along with nothing changing so the same people and same groups can keep everything as it is.
This is no longer a wage that makes us all equal but gives us the right to fail of our own accord but makes it so that you must struggle to keep going at all.
I was born into one of those nowhere low wage "right to work" shitholes and I have some advice for people in them.
Leave. GTFO. Get a passport or move to a state with a high minimum wage. Your family doesn't matter. Your education options don't matter. You will be better off somewhere else, I guarantee it.
My husband and I are moving from California to Yucatán in April. Hopefully the cost of living there gives us a better quality of life.
you're gonna feel real stupid when that meteor comes for round 2
We'll wear helmets.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
