Not that anyone pays attention to me, but really, is it so hard to ask for a living wage (and actually get it?) I don’t want something for free. I’m always willing to work hard! I want to earn it, not have it handed to me and other people look at me scornfully. I want to be able to pay my debts, not shirk them and pick and choose which one I should and/or can pay this week. Or choosing not to pay a bill just so I can eat.
