@DanPriceSeattle I was supporting a family a four on my wages there. It didn’t go very far and sometimes I couldn’t afford to pay my utilities, let alone have a car for every season.
@DanPriceSeattle I worked in veterinary office A position I had to have a degree to obtain One day my boss (the vet/owner) gave me a raise to $15 and said “You now have a living wage!” And while I appreciated it I wanted to ask her if she could live off it. She had a winter and a summer car
@HomelessnessSD Why do we take people who’ve lost everything, who have nothing, are just trying to survive in what must be a terrifying existence, and then say, no you can’t have that, either? It’s disgusting.
