What are you doing? (Part 1)

If you offer no specifics, then its just your undiscussed opinion about some generality you agree with. You may not think that they are a solution, but many people who earn less than you would.

Bring specific examples that we can discuss, a friend perhaps, whose business you can share. Nothing can be solved when one person asks for another persons specific reasoning and they refuse to accommodate the discussion.

The opinion has been discussed, with you, in various ways. I’m not the only one who holds the opinion. You’ve been discussing it for pages and pages. I offered an “I agree with those people because…” and then explained why.

You offered no specifics and did not explain why those specifics lead you to feel comfortable. You offered vague ideas to support your opinion, no evidence face it.

The whole point of what I said was just to highlight that merely raising wages doesn’t truly fix anything. You said you think it’s necessary for a person to make over $20/hr to stay out of poverty. I said I make considerably less than that and am quite comfortable. If what you said was true, my situation would not be what it is, I would not be comfortable, and I’d be looking for a better job loll.

Also I thought it was fairly well explained. I pay for all of my necessities, and I did state what those necessities are, and have some left over for a few creature comforts, as well as having money put away for my retirement. Is that not specific enough or what?

I’ll repeat for you who has given no straight answers, facts, figures, evidence and no discussion follows no evidence.

You could be paid one dollar and be totally comfortable living with your parents who provide everything for you, so show me the money instead of complaining about my agenda without offering a real counter.

Oh I see, so you just didn’t want to read the parts where I listed all of the things I pay for, all of the things I consider necessities. Alright.

So you get paid $10 a month, $2 for rent & utilities, $2 for kitty, $2 for gas, and $4 for creature comforts. This is what I have surmised from lacking info. Am I close? Was food on your list or did I forget that? Maybe you earn $15 which would leave $5 for food, but no savings or emergency money. You didn’t list healthcare prices, why?

Blur,

Do you know when you’ve encountered an endless tape?

My favorites are blank tapes.

Does this seem like a reasonable budget to you? This is what you’ve surmised by being dishonest. My actual budget is none of your business. Suffice to say, I live on my own and pay all of my own bills, my rent is actually higher than average for the area I live in, I have several thousand dollars saved, and I make quite a bit less than $20/hr. If you want to talk specific numbers, why don’t you post your own.

You don’t have to post your own budget as I have already said, post figures about friends or family who live as you do comfortably on way less than $20.84. I’d like to see a real budget so I understand how what you claim is possible is actually possible.<—over in the Income Disparity thread.

Shared a wave with a couple of neighbors who were walking their dogs too. Coffee is so tasty.

Today was kind of a bad one, but it’s over now and I have the weekend off. Woo.

Observing jim carreys condition…

since earth’s daughter checked out, the one he hid within, he now has submitted to the mother, little does he know, she doesn’t take kindly to submission.

Let’s watch what happens.

Isn’t Joker supposed toe be the one cooking?

I have only a foggy idea of what you are talking about.

Splurged on dried fruits (apricots, mangoes, papayas, and dates) so I’m taste testing them to see if they are good enough snacks.
Mangoes :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Only when he’s in a really good mood. Would you want to eat one of his pissed off creations…could be radioactive?

Working. Fun stuff!

Mangos are indeed delicious.
