Few jobs are truly essential. If they are they are already getting paid well. Shut the fuck k Up and learn a skill and stop crying for free money is what I think of this especially for something as benign as a fuckinng flu ffs

And if you have a job just be grateful you have a job and are skilled and don’t need to rely on the government to give you lunch greedy lazy America

whats that? you don't want grocery stores? garbage collectors? i see. i guess i'm just not essential enough for you.
maybe instead of getting upset at me, you should be getting pissed at the companies riding on your tax dollars because they aren't paying me a living wage in the first place, so i'm forced to apply for EBT just to afford to eat, and medicare to afford to see the doctor and the dentist.
i'm not asking for free money. i'm asking for the wages i should've been getting paid 20 fucking years ago.

American privilege is disgusting. American poor are fat. Have cellphones. Nails. Video games. Etc... Our minimum wage workers want Respect before its earned. It's ridiculously easy to make more money if you actually have skills and work ethic. Even shit jobs are in good conditions. An American sweat shop is Amazon. Where its climate controlled and you get breaks. Starting pay is close to what a fucking EMT makes.
Yet its all booohoooo poor me

That kind of unspoiled attitude & perspective is rare nowadays....plus you’re not allowed to talk sense anymore.. it upsets people nowadays. It’s against unspoken conventional popular social law.

EVERYBODY deserves a tide-me-over from the Government in the form of a tax return, where those of a larger income get a lesser % so that those who have the least, benefit the most -- as its a plan to benefit those most in need, the most.
The family that owns Walmart needs no compensation, but their workers and the cleaning lady do.

I see people have literally no understanding of the wealthy elites or who makes up minimum wage workers but yet talk all kinds of shit about them. A large majority of rich people are just decent extremely hardworking incredibly well put together individuals and are good people. Not everyone on minimum wage is some lazy good for nothing expecting hand outs. Its alot of elderly, single mothers or really women in general, any number of situations. You know the people who can't just run put and buy new skills even if they had the money. Not to mention these people have been put to hell and back by you poeple over this shit. I mean working at a grocery store or warehouse or something must have been absolute chaos. Were talking about giving these people a living wage for godsakes what type of cold hearted bastard would argue against that. We haven't raised the minimum wage in 11 years or something. Incase u haven't noticed the world has turn up several notches since then. Talking about giving these people that bit extra for bearing the brunt and doing thier bit for the country during a global health crisis. Especially after you gave actual lazy good for nothings more money to be on unemployment. These people did nothing to help the country through this and everyone talks about were in this together but seems like nobody cares about that.

I am one of those poor. I am fat, because the only affordable food is preprocessesed junk with little nutrients and lots of calories per dollar spent. That's how I have to shop, calories per dollar. A head of lettuce may seem cheap, but with so few calories at 2 bucks a head, it's a luxury buy that I have to plan around if I want to have enough money for the entire month.
Its common for me to skip eating entirely 2 to 3 days a week. I'm still fat, despite eating only 1800 calories a day.
I have a smartphone...as a Christmas gift from my not so poor parents. I never would have been able to afford it myself, though there's hand me down phones fairly cheap online and it's a smart buy, being a pocket computer. I saw some as low as 60 bucks, used.
I play video games because they're the best godsdamed entertainment for your buck out there. Ffxiv is 13 a month, I paid 10 dollars for terraria and have over 1000 hours on that now over the years, etc. Creation games especially have long lives.
People act like respect is something to be parceled out, that they are some supreme being capable of judging who deserves respect and who does not. No.
Respect is not earned. It is given freely, without hesitation, to all. Respect is something that is lost, not earned. Remember the golden rule. what do you think racism is? Minorities haven't earned respect in someone's eyes, so they're something lesser. It's a toxic worldview. Get rid of it.

My town has no Asian market. It's not big enough for such, not culturally diverse enough. People here think mild salsa is too spicy for crying out loud.
It's in upper Michigan, where the growing season is short and pasty shops abound.

I'm native SoCal, moved here because it was more affordable than orange county (my parents can afford living there easily, but it took a lucky break with tak return and a triple paycheck month for me to even afford risking a move to here) so yeah, I laugh at how weak people are to spice here even as my soul cries for a Rubio's fish taco.

If you live anywhere near Houghton or Marquette you really don't have an excuse for being anything but well off. There's way too much work up there. We down in Milwaukee literally drive up there to work for 50/hr or more.
You can make a fortune doing landscaping, odds and ends, and snow removal with literally no skill and pennys to your name.
The UP is where people with too many felonies to get a job go to make more money than people with real jobs.
Make fucking trinkets and live in a trailer in copper harbor or something.
Make signs for gay Michigan and sell them online to the lgbts
