I work as a paralegal for the State government. Everyone just got a 5% raise! Great news right? Also, my insurance rate is nearly doubling. My “five percent” raise is going to be less than $10 per paycheck. Basically, I feel like I'm helping launder money for a multi-billion dollar insurance company. All so that the State can say, “We gave you a big raise, aren't you grateful??” So grateful I can (probably) afford to stay alive in America.
