I've seen this many times posted, how people sit up so tall - and proud on that high horse to refuse 8cpl. SM Posted: Sep 22nd, 2023 - 2:54 pm
What I really want to know is, how many of you high riders would take a low wage if it was that or nothing, if it was that or homelessness in the next week because you couldn't get a job with higher wages?
Seriously, people. Is it that pleasant living up on that high horse? With your head up in the clouds or up somewhere else?
It's going to be a really tough hit when you fall off that horse at some point and are faced with the choice of low wages or nothing. You cant eat or pay rent with pride or an uppity attitude. See how well that mindset works for you at the grocery store, or with a landlord or a mortgage company.
I've been thisclosetohomeless and it's not a very nice feeling to be scared crapless, an absolutely gut-cramping fear, wondering what you're going to do and no options available, wondering what you're going to do come that last day and you might have to abandon everything you own and walk out onto the street because it's the only place you'd have to go. I'll bet you'd take that lesser wage pretty dam fast if the sheriff came to put a vacate notice on your door, or came to escort you off the property.
I thank God every day for what I have. It's not what I would prefer, but it's a roof over my head and food on my table.
