If you have 4 people who work, that share an apartment, share expenses, you have a livable wage.
You want to go out and live alone, or with your 25 illegitimate children by 35 fathers, you can not afford it.
Expectations of what people think they are owed are out of whack.
Yes, I agree.
I agree with about everything you've said but I don't understand the math on that one.
I have enjoyed your posts on this thread.
I also am sick of the whining. You get more if you try harder and improve yourself.
My mother was widowed in the Great Depression with small children. She went to school nights for secretarial skills,never fooled around with men,we did without (believe me,we did without),wore hand-me-downs,and we survived.
She ended up with a good job.I went to a state college as a day student and paid my own way, and we all ended up solid middle class.
Walmart would never have been her job of choice had they been around at that time,any more than Woolworth's or Kresge's was her choice.
That said,not for a moment am I criticising folks who work at Walmart. If they are happy there,that's fine with me,but don't ask me to subsidise them.
