How many times in your life have you been without a meal for an entire day because you couldn't afford one? Ever been without a place to live?

More times than I can die that’s for sure.

If you don't leave the building you will not be having any more meals ever again.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Good news! You also don't need to worry about rent!

I would rather risk homelessness and starvation rather than drowning. If the water around the place I am is rising I am going to get to safety. Full stop. No job is worth risking my life for.

I understand what you're saying, but at the end of the day if you are dead, nothing else matters.

You'd be without many meals if you died in a flood.

Good thing preventing employees from leaving the building is illegal.

Yes and yes. And now I don't rely on untrustworthy businesses for my paycheque. It's not worth the risk.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Have you ever been dead? Your argument sounds exactly like my question.

Good luck fighting my unemployment when I tell them I got fired for keeping myself safe in a natural disaster.

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Most of them were probably more worried about missing the day of pay.

[-] Soleos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I could go without for a day... but if I had dependents, I'd be worried for not just the day, but every day after that too

[-] femtech@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, and you might get fired and miss rent, daycare, car payment.

[-] 5in1k@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

None of those worries now though.

Hindsight is something something.
