And has quite frankly saved my life. this person believes I should be paid less because of a problem I had no control over and more likely then not is still gonna kill me in the end. Yeah my condition is only getting worse 24 years after my liver transplant and not only can I not get a job for fear of losing my medical coverage, this person believes if I do get a job I deserve to be paid less. What the actual fuck man
