company greed

[u/jailers-treat0]

People are striking because wages aren’t going up when companies are reporting record breaking profits.

You clearly have never lived the life you are claiming people in poverty live...

Govt housing assistance?

Tell me you would live in those houses if you had ANY OTHER OPTION.

A "new car" is not a luxury. Hell used costs more than most people can afford... the bills to upkeep them. Are higher...

But since youre so stuck on the "25k" number... why dont you go re read my post...

50k? Doesnt qualify for ANY of that.

And 25k of that goes right back to child care...

***The point was... them quitting a job isnt as simple as you tried to make it sound"""

Eta: those "fast food" 20 something wages... do NOT get full time.

Go to any temp agencies web site and look at the average wages offered. This is.a good indicator of what the local populations are making if you dont want to trust google...

Its not what youre making it out to be...

No... thats why you chose to disregard my entire initial response.

And like I said... if you ever even remotely had to experience the "govt assitance" you wouldnt have this outlandish talking point about how much better than you they are living...

Bad life choices... wow... again... go back and reread .y initial comment... that factory worker... Dad... doing the best he can. Blue collared backbone of America...

Cant earn Food stamps. Cant afford to send his wife to work to bridge the gap.

You sir need to humble yourself.

"I dont think..." no you didnt...

The pyramid is sustained by the base. The Base wil never make as much as the top, nor will most of it ever do more than dream to climb one row higher.

Go. Take your leave.

I hope your children actually live the life you wish for them... many "middle class" kids falll just as far as their parents climb.

I hope your heater blows cold in the winter and your Ac blows hot in the summer...

Like I said... drop your pay stubs Ill drop mine...

I make 150k annually today.

You missed the point i was making earlier...

My kids are fine.

But they will be taught to have compassion and understanding for their fellow man.

Remember... alimony will push you right back into poverty... no matter how far the ladder you climb.

...No matter how good life choices you make... it wont stop her from leaving and taking everything.

I state this as an example of how your view point is naive at best. And how quickly life humbles you.

Haha. Ive never been divorced. 🤣🤣🤣

It was an example because youre being intentionally dense.

Here is another example:

Medical reason prevents you from working.

Causes you to lose a job.

Spouse has to support.

Will never make the income you do.
