@gdkar *takes off glasses dramatically* we're reaching FUCK levels that have so far been unimaginable! the Fuckometer is going off the scale!
I met a homeless woman working as a cashier at dollar general
my wife and I went to the dollar store to get some snacks for a movie, and the cashier told us about how new stores are opening up in the city with a higher minimum wage, when they wont even raise the wage for the store she works at.
She makes $7.25 an hour and lives in her van. One of her windows is completely busted up, so she has to sleep like that during the winter, with no heat because she couldn't pay for gas. By the time she gets her paycheck at the end of the week, she'll have $6 to her name, because everything else goes to car payments and groceries.
I am so fucking mad. I'm going to look for resources for her. I can't do much, but I can do something.
If any of you have ideas for ways to help her (and others like her), please let me know. Either for unionizing, or financial aid, or whathaveyou.
yeah i'm moving over to chitter.xyz now. Soooo go there! I'm there now.
