So I’m a delivery driver for one of the biggest delivery companies. The other day I delivered a package to this older man, maybe early to mid 70s. After I drop his package off and I’m walking back to my truck he yells out “HEY. THANK YOU. It’s so nice to see a young man like you actually working these days, especially on a rainy day. There’s a lot of people your age who don’t want to work, they just want to sit at home collecting money from the government. THANK YOU.” It’s crazy to me how out of touch people are. Especially older people. This guy probably bought his house years ago, making maybe half, even less of my hourly wage, and im over here barely surviving off my income, while my companies executives bring in 6 figure bonuses and I got a 2% raise in the last 3 years. I really wanted to tell him it isn’t that no one wants to work, it’s no one wants to get paid poverty wages doing manual labor, working from sunrise to sunset everyday.
