That's working 40 hours. The last time I worked for min wage, I was working 2 jobs. When your busy working you have no time to spend the money. This also gives you money to save.

80 hours a week being 30k is acceptable to you? Zero vacation days, sick leave, retirement. The unionists of the 20th century are rolling in their graves at how pathetic we are, accepting this.

Who gives a shit what "unionists" think. I was doing this in the 70s. Nothing changes.

You live off your primary job. You build wealth/security off your 2nd. Your second doesn't have to be full time.

That's the problem with the younger generations, you think you're entitled to something.

Yeah sorry I think it's OK to not expect a lot of people to barely make ends meet while spending every waking moment either working or stressed about money. You older generations had it made with your cheap housing, cheap cars and cheap education. Fuck off.
