Pretty hard to feel sorry for the groups of people that wouldn't accept jobs that paid less than $65k a year because they "deserved more." But they suddenly don't mind begging for money?!
Nah. Plenty of McDonalds are hiring. Work, instead of begging. I don't care how little the pay is, it's still better for begging.
Hey Lemmy, remember when you all would smugly tell people to "learn to code" when layoffs were happening in the midwest? Because you thought factory workers in the red states were lower than you?!
Looks like now it's happening to some of you now. So I say, "learn to work."
People in the small rural towns I grew up in don't have to resort to going online to beg for money. You know, the ones you actively make fun of and call backwards.
So nope, you'll get no money from me. But hey, other Lemmy posters are usually richer than average, I'm sure they'll be happy to step up and donate! Suckers.
I can't even hate on ya, because I love that graphic so much. But it's not bait. It's my opinion. Now yes, it will enrage people, but I didn't say it just to enrage people.
You still get an upvote from me though, because that graphic makes me laugh every single time! So maybe um, I'll give ya about 5 percent bait. Mostly true tho! :)
