We went to a friends house last night for some dinner, kids were decorating Halloween costumes, just bullshitting. Wages came up and I just said that to me it doesn’t matter what a person is doing for work, that even if they’re working a minimum wage job, if they’re doing this “required” 40 hour weeks they deserve to at least make a wage that covers the cost of living. It should be high enough to cover rent, food, and everything else we consider basic. I could tell that annoyed him an a minute later he excused himself for a little bit.
I’m really starting to think less of people who hold opinions like these. To me it’s just a sign you are a shitty person. It sucks though cause I’m realizing a lot of people feel this way.
