I'm amazed every day I wake up that we haven't begun another revolution. permalink fedilink source parent [–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children) $29 minimum!? ($18.40 in USD). In my state it's $7.50 (USD), and most fast food workers like me get $11 after tips... Edit: For my line of work and hours it's $11 and $12.70 on weekends in Australia (converted to USD)... Still a bit more than most fast food workers get in the U.S... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Agent641@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children) We also have free healthcare.

It's a lot more difficult to courage up to later on life, when you tend to have much more connections and emotions to whatever you're about to leave. It's not always a bad thing to stay, of course, people have their reasons to both proceed with emigration and shaking it off, but it's much easier the sooner you go with it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] johnthedoe@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Thank you. I vaguely remember almost 30 but can’t remember what context that was so didn’t want to overstate. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] Cheez@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
