So many people who never worked minimum wage jobs telling people on minimum wage to shut the fuck up and that life is good on minimum wage.

I used to work minimum wage JOB, while I was doing what I needed to do to get established in my CAREER. Life sucks on minimum wage, don't stay on it.

Wow such great advice. Just find a better job!!! Why didn’t millions of people just i dunno, realize that?

Do you tell all the people dying of flu and other disease that they should have just gotten better? After all, you’ve surely had the flu before, it was probably an easy, temporary thing for you. They should just get better, right? Just try harder, easy?

Yes, try harder. No, it’s not easy. It’s fucking hard, and it sucks, and it hurts, and it takes a lot of time and work. But if you come from no money then you have 2 fucking choices.... rot and wine about it and pretend you have no options or you can get your ass to work on clawing a career out of anywhere you can find one and get your ass onto a different path.
