      Scream out of touch louder. In the US (where Hasan is so its the pertinent example) federal minimum wage is 7.25 an hour, thats 16,080 a year, add 1000 and you’re saying your friend can afford to pay all their bills and a trip to Japan? The state with the highest minimum wage is Washington at 17.13 hourly total annual being 35,630, add 1,000 36,630. You’re saying thats not only a livable wage in that state but one high enough to afford a trip to Japan? Your friend is putting it on a credit card or they don’t have any of the bills associated with being an adult.

          Boooooo you stink. We are talking about hasan and you are trying to apply whatever your country (which is undeniably a significantly smaller number of people) to all countries by making the statement you’ve made based on your sub 1% incredibly high level of privilege. Your niche example can’t apply to the other 7.5 billion at least humans.

            What if I’m actually from China?

              Well china doesn’t have a national minimum wage so I have no idea what you’d be referencing when stating 1000 above minimum. Highest city minimum wage set is Beijing, its 4 USD an hour. Not sure how that would pay all your bills and afford a vacation to Japan. Japan by the way has a minimum wage of around 2 times that. So, the money would stretch significantly shorter outside of just accommodations. You’re also ignoring the rest of what I said so you continue to stink. Your stance was that anyone making “average” wage can afford international travel and vacations.

        Let me get this straight, you’re saying that because some people hate their jobs, nobody is allowed to say a different job sucks? Or is it that nobody is allowed to enjoy their job?

        And you’re saying that because some people are struggling financially nobody else is allowed to be doing okay financially and enjoying the fruits of their labor?

        Get some perspective bro. Read the room!

              I love that no matter what I say in shitpost there is a shockingly high percentage of people who take it as genuine. This is the best place I’ve ever found to bait/troll.

            Dude you badly need to spend some time offline and touch some grass and talk to some new people. Go have some fun in the real world!

            That line of thinking only comes from being in an echo chamber for too long
