obviously not...but i have had it-how about you?

now, have you ever been poor?

Yep sure. I have been, as has my family despite having jobs.

Which is why I'm so passionate about others not going through the same - if a person is working full time, there's no reason they should need to work 70 hours weeks just to survive.

People only care because it's linked to Fauci. They just want to tank his name, but don't give a **** about the animals at all.

Rats and rabbits are also sentient animals, and testing on them is just as messed up. It'd be good to see them so passionate about those animals as well.

dogs are mans best friend...rats not so much-ever hear of dcon?

You just want to play the "I've been poorer" game.

I get where youre going, but Yelp is a dumpster fire. Competitors and activists posting fake reviews to tank businesses and stuff are wayyyy to common for you to rely an entire remuneration or business model on.

But I get your point.

Well, I did have a friend who worked at a Pizzaria a few years back and they had a competition with their employees on whoever posted the best review wins a brand new iPad, LOL!

What really sucks is being old and needing to work 70 hours to survive. Sometimes its self inflicting, in that case well I dont feel sorry for them, and other times its just life throwing hardballs at people. There is alot of screwed up crap in the world. And why the fuq did my grandma through her 90s need to pay thousands in school tax every year???

The experiences I value most are those who were poor and got themselves out. I do enjoy hearing the debate from any point of view though.

I have myself learned alot about life being poor and being around alot of other poor people and discovering first hand what it is thats holding them back.....especially myself back.

Now being poor and broke here in America isnt as bad as many other 3rd world countries, especially these days. You can pitch up a tent in from of a CVS in California, shyt on the street and grab what you need from the store with no money and your all set

[Jiigzz]

There are ALOT of people working long hours and still barely struggling to stay afloat.

At $15 an hour, a 70 hour work week is only $1000 per week, and that is before tax.

If a person is paying tax, a student loan, credit card debt, a mortgage or rent, other bills like powerboat, water internet and phone, even those just really eat into income.

And that's at $15 per hour. At hours that are simply not healthy or sustainable.

Lots of people earn less than that.

 

[Jiigzz]

Lol I think you're the angry one here. One would have thought that you would be on the side of the poor and demand they get paid a fair wage for fair work.

from my experience drugs and alcohol are THE biggest things holding people back from escaping poverty....the huge of those i grew up with were dead before 40 and many more were locked up...i only know of 1 other person i grew up with who escaped the clutches of drugs/alcohol.

In alot of places around the country $1000 before taxes is actually pretty good, in other parts such as NYC it doesnt really get you far.

If you really want minimum wages here you at least have to take a very serious consideration of localized economics or your going to hurt to many middle class and the bigs will swallow more of them up if you do a blanket national law.

I used to smoke alot of pot, and did drink some as well. It all held me back, but I was fortunate that I didnt get addicted and went full cold turkey at the age of 23 and still am 21 years later.

I have seem so many poor people waste their life away but continuing to make poor choices wasting their time doing things they shouldnt be doing. Instead of hitting the bar every weekend, a library is a better fit if you want change.

Even where I am upstate a little 1k a week isnt that bad. Thats 55k a year before taxes. Thats also enough to get you comfortably by and then you can work on the next thing, or study investing and prepare retirement, you will have money to play with.

I lost alot of friends, I pushed most of them away, I had to do it. It saddened me but I had to.

Im making new friends at my gun club, some are going to help me out with references so I can get my pistol permit finally. Really cool group of people there, police, vets, trump supporters and even the democrats there arent so bad.

 

[ax1]

Absolutely not, and if you know how to play the credit game you should be able to get a mortgage and buy a house in the right areas, especially if you marry someone and have 2 incomes. If you go way upstate NY you can have a little peaceful paradise for yourself.

in all honesty i was just being a smartass...the legion i belong to has a shooting range run by a retired gunnery sgt.

It's not so much about mandating a minimum wage, it's just about being paid fairly. That's it.

You would have to see, judge, interpret the documentary I posted yourself and think for yourself.

It popped up in my head because I claimed people are cowards and not wanting to fight to have an American principle of Unions and having the power to negotiate your wages rather than having government regulate it, and in that video you can actually see it as a process (no spoilers here, and thats just part of the documentary) and the twist is the Chinese billionaire fight back at the Union.

So if you want to just cancel anything and all associated with liberal, democrat and left as a whole thats certainly going to be your call. Im fine with that
