I am tired of making 15 an hour!
I am just sick of making 15 an hour. I have been working for nearly 10 years now. 9 of those years was for another company that I should have left a long time ago, but my younger naive self was happy to get paid. Now that I am older and accepting another job at 15 an hour because I spent a whole year looking for a job that paid more and got nothing. I don't understand what I am doing wrong.

The only thing I really wanna do is live off grid and grow my own crops and just be free from the artificial construct that we've trapped ourselves into. Agree or disagree I just don't want to be stuck working like my life depends on it until I'm 80. Anyone else share the same thoughts or similar
New job offer, asked me to do a background check. Cool. Why does the background check require me to enter SEVEN years' worth of address history and my parent's information? Not for $15/hr, bye.
I'm tired. My friends and family are tired. The American workforce is tired. Big business is far from tired, and will always want more. I don't pretend to have the solution, but it's clear we need to make our voices heard again.
