The fear of losing my balls gave me some.

I used to work at a National Office Supply store chain. A Depot of sorts. I had been having some major pain in my testes so I called out one day to go see my doctor about it.

My wife is a teacher

Their bonus offer: no annual pay raise (didn’t do one last year either), but instead you get a one time payment of 500 dollars. That’s hardly 1.5%. I told her to just quit. With minimum wage getting increased it would be easier for her to be an hourly worker. The stress would be lower, and she would work way less. Pay wouldn’t hardly change at all. Wtf is happening to this country.

Unpopular opinion: if we didn’t have billionaires we wouldn’t have these great places to shop and services

If the government didn’t let anyone become a billionaire then we wouldnt have amazon, netflix, starbucks the apple products and hundreds of more things that we use that makes out life better or easier. People sometimes need to think rationally and realistically before they say “billionaires shouldn’t exist”.
