A 6 mile delivery and a $65 order, hand written $0 tip on the credit card slip, as I walked away, I flipped off the Ring camera. Fuck your 5116 Sagebrush.
Obviously it sounds nice to imagine landlords getting theirs, but there’s a reason no one’s suggesting it and I want to know why. What would happen if that were to occur? What would the outcomes of that sort of collective effort be?
The sad reality of the United States
8 years ago was a decent time. You could either be poor enough to get food stamps to feed your family for a month making minimum wage which would pay the rent plus utilities or if you took a little higher paying job you didn't qualify for food stamps or medicaid so it would be impossible to live. Made it way easier to find any job and not worry. Now I am making 20 an hour plus commission which equates to like 25 an hour and I am in a worse spot. Foodstamps and Medicare do not adjust with inflation properly and so I'm paying 300 a month for insurance for myself and about 800 a month to feed my wife and 3 kids as well. We don't buy expensive foods. We have steak 1 or 2 nights a week but cheap steak and the rest is generic big frozen…
This Unironically
Listen. I just never understand why jobs ask for years (s) of being skilled in that profession. I think of it as “Ok let me learn something new for 1 year and wait 4 years to be 5 years skilled in this job.” Like wtf skills are skills, you shouldn't need to have more than 3 years to be skilled, people make mistakes along the way and we learn from them just like that. Simple. Employers should be happy that they got a person to uphold that job with just 1-3 years of experience.
