Dudes mommy is out telling people to work, and his wide ass is claiming we need more h1-b Vida’s because there’s not enough engineers. There’s plenty of engineers, they didn’t pay us enough, so we walked the hell out, now Mr republican golden immigrant is saying to fix their shitty mistake, we need more immigrants. These fuck faces will do literally ANYTHING other than pay a fair wage based against cost of living. Musk deserves the Gaddafi treatment… 100%. If rent is 2k a month, that’s 24k a yr, after taxes, making $25 an hour, you bring home around 35k, that leaves 11k for food, car payments (cuz you can’t afford to live within walking distance of anything), gas, clothing, insurance, appliances, maintenance, and emergencies. The problem isn’t “there’s no engineers” the problem is greedy oligarchs that don’t see a problem with you having 0 social mobility.

My wife is dealing with this as a nurse. They bring in tons of underpaid foreign nurses to “cover the shortages” but refuse to increase wages. There’s no fucking reason an RN with 7 patients should be making $30 fucking dollars an hour.

  I work in long term care and the CNAs make ~18/hr. I’m maintenance and make 21. Make that make sense.

I’m still impressed that so many companies still think throwing bodies at a project is how you get it fixed.

No, it’s how you get something crappy thrown together that you have to pay real engineers to fix.

Bullseye. It’s a fine line to walk of keeping us in a spot where we can just barely afford to live (sort of) while making sure there’s no way we could possibly have enough to intrude on the upper spheres.
