I'm glad they are getting that money (or were?), but the fucked up thing is knowing that's literally more than I get in a month working 30 hours a week of the hardest job I've had in 15 years. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I'm betting the two people who downvoted me would happily tell me to just get a better job. ๐Ÿ˜‚

How does that work?!

mind you if there was reasonable social security like a payment to the jobless, exploitation like that would be harder. It feels like countries like the US fight social security to make it easier to pay people almost nothing, by keeping the danger of homelessness and lack of healthcare real.

not presuming you're in the US, that income would honestly make more sense in a less developed part of the world. I hope that's not an insult ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

It feels like an insult. I'm in Indiana.

So a less developed part of the world, got it

Well you're not wrong there. ๐Ÿ˜‚
