@TriageNurseMD Congrats! If it’s elsewhere in town you’ve probably been around long enough to pick up second hand vibes. That’s as good as it gets for future proofing.
Finally, the minimum wage was *always* meant to be a living wage. In 1933 President FDR loudly declared, “No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.”
That’s powerful truth.

Reject the framing that “the minimum wage is for 15 year old kids.” When it comes to people surviving off the minimum wage of $7.25/hour:
•The average age is 35
•90% are 20 or older
•59% are women
•54% already work full time
•28% have children they support

@Girl81Runner I was gonna make a comment about being stuck on a treadmill when it occurred to me which one of us could crank the AC and turn on a fan and maybe mist or something and have iced towels so I’ll just keep quiet.
@martin5671 It’s a terrible club, but you are definitely not alone in your feelings or your situation. I wish you the best, including the exact same support for you that you wish for others.
@arlenparsa Does that mean we will only get one bad event or do we just wait until each decade is over and decide which of a stream of disasters seemed to be the worst?
