I don't mind doing work, but I do mind not being compensated enough that even working 60+ hours a week won't afford me even the cheapest rat-hole to live in. The fuck is the point of spending my time slaving away for some rich fuck to get richer while I live in the street or a car if I am lucky?

"Oi Clean Shirt!"
How did you get that shirt so clean mate?
Next time censor the J word please
In the future they'll just censor all of the verbs, nouns, and adjectives.
Or, in modern parlance, "In the f*ture th*y'll just c*ns*r all of the v*rbs, n**ns and adj*ctives."
The star will be the only vowel. Eventually they'll just drop it all together and English will be only consonants. Children will ask "nn gndrd prnt fgr, why ds th kybrd hv ths xtr fnny lttrs?" And no one will know the answer.

Me to everyone around me when I'm on vacation
Imagine having a job, lol
I feel attacked that one of the jobdonthavers is wearing a TTGL shirt.
I think heard in passing, some video clip saying a dude was "promoting the 9-5 lifestyle", aka having a job? Is that bad now? I'm getting old.
It's more exploitative than many younger individuals agree with. 40 hours and still can't buy a home? I'd say the 9 to 5 is a failed experiment.
Thanks for the context. Fwiw I can definitely empathize with that. Companies have been giving employees shit deals more and more over time.
For instance, I've met single company lifers and can't imagine that level of loyalty given a company wouldn't think twice to lay me off.
Unironically some social security single moms around here are like this
May I ask where “around here” is?
GIVE ME THE FULL ADDRESS, RHEUMATOIDARTHRITIS
🇵🇱
This looks like a flag of some not American country
What is a social security single mom? Genuinely asking
an easy scapegoat for all the things that the 1% have stolen from us. I swear the welfare moms are in the room with us right now
In my neck of the woods it’s a derogatory term for women who are bragging about income while also receiving large child support checks + government assistance. I’ve only seen it used for strippers who have 3+ baby daddies collecting checks for full custody. Bragging about buying a new Escalade while being on government assistance is considered trashy. For perspective I don’t hate the players just the game.
I think it's funny that people get mad at that but don't get mad about someone born into $50mm of wealth collecting $166,666/mo partly insured with no obligation to work or even fill out forms.
Who decided to call them social security moms? Isn’t social security for retired elderly people? I highly doubt these people are getting social security.
Social security might mean to them just all sorts of government welfare. That's how it is used in my native language.
Oh interesting, I wasn’t aware of this.
English isn't my first language
Gotcha, I can understand your mistake but the other commenter made it sound like it was some sort of widely used slang.
From context I'm guessing it is a single mother who lives off social security and doesn't go to work.
I have heard the pejorative 'Welfare Queen' used to describe this.
There will always be people that abuse benefits. There are also many people who cannot go to work and are doing their best to hold things together.
I wouldn't be entirely opposed to that if it meant the kids got the love and care they needed.
That is pretty specific, why😂
Speaking from experience, I presume.
Yea, they are working and fighting hard for their children and yet they are treated like trash :(
Does that give them the right to treat working people like trash?
