Federal minimum wage in the United States is still 7.25 an hour. Just curious does anyone still make that and why?

For some reason I thought it was raised to over $10, but nope still 7.25.

How does anyone possibly live on that salary, unless they are a teenager living at home?

I’m a very picky eater and for the first time in my life I was cooking home made meals with food I’ve never tried before. I could do this forever. Then we had to go back. I had no time, no energy, no…

I’m on board with this. Whatever you’re gonna do, it’s a good day to give some meaning and provoke some thoughts and action.

I told my boss I’m too burnt out to care.

She got on my case about something petty. I told I was too burnt out to care. Felt nice but I'm still gonna be burnt out so nothing really gained. Avoid nonprofits right now. They are in a death spiral
