Like, having under 12k dollar wage per year, decreasing every year for 4 years, and they're denying even a talk about welfare and getting stuff from food banks to help themselves despite living 'wage to wage' by their own words with only '10$ left over'

It's been 4 years and they're just searching for affirmation that they will make it out of this 'wage to wage phase' like 4 years isn't enough, I don't understand

Tech workers have been propagandized especially effectively with the temporarily embarrassed millionaire schtick.
