This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

People see a 4chan post and just immediately go full hater mode.
Fucking ballistic
Where is $17 a lot of money? In your parents basement??? I guess tendies would be covered for this greentext. Get an education and get double that, still be broke, and still work until your mental breakdown, at which point if all of you's can organize your break downs to align, we might be able to take that mental anguish out of the 1% families who's houses are burning in the palisades. Yeah I said it, the universe hates the palisades. Burn baby burn.
Applies to all Palisades equally
Home depot is the most depressing of hardware stores. I wouldn't want to work there even if what this fake ass post says is true.
Also $17/hr is shit pay. You can't even rent an apartment at $17/hr.
I'm renting an apartment at $16 move to a better area.
Surely they need to move to a shitter area.
Assuming lower cost of living means shittier is very home country of you.
Depends on your area.
Edit: working a full 40hr/wk at $17/hr can afford rent up to ~$880/mo.
$880 is how much people pay for a bedroom in someones else's house in my city.
*This is mostly because the zoning laws require all new apartment complexes to have one parking space per tenant which means land owners who want to develop their land to provide more density have to put in an underground parking garage on their lot which would make recouping the cost of development pretty much impossible (there's no room for surface lots). My city is almost entirely zoned this way which creates situations where the university is fully surrounded by single family homes that are "renovated" to provide jury rigged density.
Thats something like 50 percent of your pay in my area.
$17/hr can afford ~$880/mo. rent. Not impossible, especially with a roommate or domestic partner.
You forgot about other things like food, probably a car, phone bill.
I did not. I calculated rent as 30% of income, the level generally considered affordable. Admittedly it is pre-tax income, so arguably the number is a bit lower, but it's a start.
I did it by after tax cause thats how people actually live.
Very fair.
This was how it was in the good old days working third shift at Walmarts back when they closed at like 9-10pm. You were just there to unload the trucks and restock the shelves, so our store would put the peddle down and be finished at 3-4 in the morning. Our shift was until 7am so we'd typical goof off playing video games in the electronics department or watching movies.
