    $15/hour minimum wage in California. $31,200/year before taxes if working 40 hours a week. I haven’t seen anything I could feasibly get hired for that pays more than $18/hour ($37,440/year).

    I seriously have zero motivation to work 40 hours a week and still be fucking homeless.

      I’m a disabled veteran in California. I hear you. The government chooses my quality of life and they have chosen poverty.

        If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the pandemic is Americans calls ppl heros when they don’t want to actually pay them. See teachers, retail workers, nurses, doctors, EMTs, soldiers, first responders, mail carriers, delivery drivers, I can keep going

      If you have some cash handling experience, you can work for a bank and many typically pay around $20-23/hr in CA. Great benefits, paid holidays, Sundays off, hardly any mandatory OT.
