Someone just posted this, people in that thread are talking about how America doesn't care, they're right but they're also wrong America wants us where we are, That's why there's no change. The situation that we are rebelling against is exactly where they want us. They're only willing to give up as little as humanly possible and until we demand more and and I mean demand not “ask” or “tell” like “refuse to move and stand in the way” demand. We need to become a problem that will get fixed become a squeaky nail, get hammered. Remember The class war is real. How many of you want to spend your late formative years and early relationship seating years struggling to survive on 80 hours a week. We might be able to force them budge a little bit with wage but the only way we'll get any real change that will be lasting because as soon as the economy gets to that good spot they'll start stretching us and wringing us dry again.

Demand a living wage that is based off of a calculation with variables that can change depending on the era. I don't necessarily know how to hit this mark but it should always equal about $23 even from the beginning of 2020. There was some anecdote about some serial killer Ted Bundy or something One of the ones that lived in plain sight about how he was working at a gas station making $5 and change an hour I forget exactly how much. I do remember doing the calculation and coming up with $23 back in 2020. I want to say $5.65 but I haven't looked it up and by ADHD really is stopping me from doing it especially since I haven't had meds for my chemical imbalance since 2008 that being said I did try and go back on them in 2012 but couldn't afford any of it working at GameStop for $8.85 an hour. I had gotten a 10 cent raise from the previous year. Either way the goal should be somewhere between five or six dollars from 1974 or 23$ to $24 from January, 2020. I was looking around and for the skilled unions their base pay for new apprentices is $23 an hour. (Coincidentally this is what I've been thinking about doing for a career as now that I have my mother in a nursing home I don't have to take care of her full-time, being an apprentice, I'm good with my hands and even better at controlling machinery.)
