Keep believing your delusions but it ain’t ever happening. Feelings do not equal reality. I stared working in high school and worked my way up from minimum wage over a long long time. Not born with money and am not “rich” now. I lived in a lot of shitty apartments and drove beater cars for many years. I also understood that you gotta work your way up to a reasonable living….AND that I was not entitled to it just for being born.

What’s the point of working a job for 40 hours a week if you can’t afford rent and food after it’s done?
Personally, I’d rather just go on welfare then be part of the working poor. Get more of my time back and still be poor.
I know you will hate this comment, but I don’t care about anybodys business if it won’t benefit me. Life is too short for that bullshit.
Also if anybody says “nobody wants to work” for why they are short staffed, if you raise pay, you will get people.
I have a great job now but if McDonald’s paid 150k. I’d quit my job tomorrow.

There only so much “free” money to go around. Welfare isn’t forever.

Well there’s even less incentive to work if you are basically going to be in the same spot.
What’s the point of working 40 hours a week if you can’t even afford to exist?

That’s the mindset of a welfare lifer. One that will never, ever get anywhere with that sort of attitude.

It wouldn’t be if wages were high enough to entice the worker who would see it increases their quality of life.
Nobody wants to work and not even be able to survive.
If welfare offers me a better life then working for an amount I can’t even survive on. I’ll choose welfare every time.
