Thoughts on MIT’s “Living Wage Calculator”?

According to it, a living wage for a single Pennsylvanian adult with no children is $16.67, and I make $18 as an ER tech in the Delaware Valley.

Looking for ressources

Hello ! I am doing a research project on work, and more specifically onthe abolition of work, and i am looking for ressources on the subject (wether it’s documentaries, essays, publications, articles, and so on). Also if you want to share stories on how you ended up in the antiwork community i’ll gladly take that too ! The end goal here for me is to condense all that in one or several podcast episodes that i would also share here !

Am i really abnormal?

I hate work. not that i don't do things. But i detest work. There's a backstory that i was forced to “work” when i was young by my abusive guardians. I have may be some deep dislike about working because of that. ​ I took some website project and i spent two days working on it. I am not even getting paid well for it. And i am exhausted. I can't do job because i don't like bosses shouting on me And i am not good at business as it requires streamlined execution. May be the fault lies in me. sigh!

So pretty much what the title says. I was invited for a job interview, hr emailed a link stating a wrong date, they then were late for the meeting this morning. Tests weren't prepared for the interview. It all started out great… Obligatory sorry for format, I'm on my phone, not home atm. So they did a basic talk about the company, the 'we're family' shit that already made me cringe, but it was work from home so I didn't mind that much. After a bit we're asked to do an online test, they said we needed to score 75% to make it through to the next round. I finish my test and it gives me a 91,2% score. They said I'd get a reply within the next half hour. 2 Hours later I get an email simply stating 'based on your online test, you're not through to the next…
