Careful Who You Speak To
I’ll make sure to let my mom, who worked 2-3 minimum wage jobs at a time and had me sleeping in a gas station so I wouldn’t be alone, that she just should’ve worked harder. Oh wait. She had a heart attack at 57 because she could never afford doctor visits and medication.

Not Quite a Comparable Salary
Yes Kim, people are tired of working 30+ hours a week to earn 1/920 of what you get by doing literally nothing and signing your name to a product someone else developed
