My homie works at Costco and makes more than half my friends with degrees - loves his coworkers and gets paid much better than when I worked grocery.

I think they’re good with raises, too.

Hey they promised to cut the PST though! That 1% buys me uh… uhhhhh… a whole extra coffee every so often!

Yea let’s just give a vulnerable population a free trial of a gambling addiction lol

I’m from small town VT just across the river, and while that hasn’t been my personal experience I absolutely have known people who have had that experience. Small town USA is unbelievably messed up, but everyone likes to act like its only in the cities. Felt like half my town was Section 8, and an actual full 10th of the population was from the county jail on furlough. Since I’ve left, violent crime/murder rate has gone up a lot and heavy drug use is rampant.

I’m sorry dude.

Ah well, the current oligarchic state of China is totally unrelated to the system that created it, and instead is a bastardization of “true” communism, right?
