I filled my gas tank on February 13. It didn't need to be filled, it was still more than half full. I paid $24. This coming Sunday will be a full month since I've filled my tank.

The amount of gasoline my family has saved over the past two years could be hugely significant if everyone that could work from home is allowed to. My husband never has to go back, I'm changing jobs so I never have to go back. We know this is a privilege, and we are incredibly thankful.

She works for a national restaurant chain as a waitress and makes just below $3 per hour plus tips. We were talking about the minimum wage and she was INSISTANT that it not be raised because companies cannot afford it.

But they can't give you more than THREE DOLLARS PER HOUR? TWNETY FOUR DOLLARS PER EIGHT HOUR SHIFT?????? REALLY???? Fucking brainwashed.
