Mike Rowe to Bernie Sanders: Stop Telling Everyone College is The Only Thing

I know alot of people making double the min wage who still are paycheck to paycheck.

Double the min wage.

Idk how anyone who makes under 10 an hr can enjoy living. You'd have to have parents paying for everything or you really can't enjoy anything in life.

As someone who makes 16 and pays 1500 for rent and bills, I can't even cut my hair anymore. It would effect the budget for food and gas, I dip into that I might have to overdraft to make rent. Downward spiral from there all because a haircut is a luxury expense to me.

Life is so fucked. And when my generation gets lost in medical marijuana, video games and the internet it's not because we are lazy. It's because we can't afford to do anything else.

Actually some of us can't even afford video games or Internet or weed lol.

For all of you in your 20s out there with shitty parents, I feel bad for you. There's no way your enjoying your life. If you didn't grow up with good parents who have a little money goodluck to you.

Hopefully one day you can afford to live the way we thought adults lived when we were growing up.

Hopefully we don't have to always settle for the dollar menu at fast food joins because that's a cheaper dinner then buying and cooking something yourself.

Hopefully there will even be people to assist you with ordering food and they won't all be robot kiosk like the banks are doing.

Going into a chase bank now is sad. 80% of windows are closed and blocked by big new atm machines that act as tellers.

More people who are struggling now because a billionaire ceo wants more more more more more.

WW3 just happen already so we can stop the suffering. I'd rather be nuked then go through this no money life.

If you make min wage out there I'm truly sorry. You're life must fucking suck.

Take solace knowing the execs of your company can afford boats and mansions though. Might help. Atleast they eat good, chefs and maids and stuff. We should be happy for them.
