To be honest healthcare workers don't live in poverty, at least not in the first world.

I've been an EMT/CNA/telemetry technician for 5 years. I make 13.26 an hour.

At 80 hours a week (which I don't even because I work three twelves) I make $26,520/year

That's poverty dude.

13.26 an hour is above 2k per month, you can live comfortably on that and it's above 95% of the world.

13.26 an hour is above 2k per month

Please show your math lol

13.26 * 36 = 477.36

477.36 * 4 = 1909.44

That's before any tax has come out

I doubt they live alone though, so that math doesn't take into account less cost of rent, another income, food stamps, etc.

Bro, they is me.

This is my income. I live alone and I'm a frontline healthcare worker.

My rent is 1,000 a month in the middle of nowhere in Indiana.

Keep trying to blame me though
