I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Yes, let’s do that.

I worked retail all throughout high school and most of uni, and it does in fact suck. The work itself sucks way less than professional office work, but the pay is bad. If I could make my CPA salary working at BestBuy or whatever other dumb store, I'd do it so fast.

Work also sucks way more than school almost no matter what. The first work most of do is retail so if you've had a mostly sheltered life working retail will literally be the worst thing that's ever happened to you.

I kind of sometimes wish I never went to university or maybe just got an AA and stayed in retail and got to management and just kept doing that instead of the poo poo I do now. I wouldn't have been able to afford being married but that's overrated also.

Stay a single retail person, if possible.

In some places in the united states, parents have to pay for school lunches. If they don't pay, the kids can still get lunch, but they'll go into debt.

This is a hell country.

Not all states are like that fortunately.

The big one getting traction in the last few days was from Cherry Hill in NJ, an ostensibly liberal/progressive area. It's not a left/right or GOP/Democrat thing, it really is the US saying in totality "gently caress the poors."

For goons that don't live in the US hellscape, may not have kids, or avoided this situation as kids themselves, this means the free breakfast kids are dually blessed with A)their parents having to drop them off significantly earlier than their peers to go to a (most likely) lovely, menial job while B)the kid gets free breakfast due to living in a financially distressed household and being eligible for free meals from the district/state. Those kids are their own little billboards that read 'LOL POOR KID' and it sucked it's a kind of a sad thing that The Onion nailed in typical fashion.

This actually happened.
Legit thought someone was having me on the first time I read it.

Each 'hitman' kept subcontracting out to another for roughly half the price they were paid by the former.
Last guy contacted the target and asked him to fake his death.
Now the contractor and the FIVE hitmen are all going to jail.

I got free lunch and breakfasts. In middle school. And the first step was serving the normal kids their food. It didn’t feel great washing those trays but someone had to.

We were hosed when we had Obama but he was a solid politician who could present himself internationally. Trump isn’t just evil he’s real loving dumb. Not someone I want barely representing 47% of misogynists and everyone else.

To clarify because I sometimes phrase things in stupid ways, people I'm calling idiots are the ones who explicitly say Trump is a better president than Hillary would have been, usually following that up with a vague but assertive gish gallop of crimes committed

I was using the :shillary: emoji to denote them and their mindset, not to denote her and those who supported her / held their nose and pulled the lever

Apologies, I see that emoji as inherently ironic
