Very true, especially if it's cold. Idk. It just upsets me thinking about what people have to endure i guess. It also sucks that their sacrifice for enduring is for the benefit of Besos.

    Yeahhh... That's just kinda how it is for a lot of people, unfortunately. In survival mode, you don't really have the luxury of quitting a job just because you hate it. I mean, maybe if you're just a single guy with a car or tent to sleep in, just in case... But if you have a family to support (or will soon), you just have to tough it out until you can secure another job (or until you get fired in a way that qualifies for unemployment benefits while searching for a new job).

    Having been raised in poverty, I can't remember a single time my parents liked their jobs.
