I live on unemployment currently and get 465 a week, I support me and my roommate with our pets
We don't pay rent so we're VERY lucky

When I had what was basically a full time job with 10+ an hour I only brought home around 600 every two weeks https://twitter.com/jdl_art/status/1387828310214811650
Total rent for a 3 bedroom apartment was 1200 this doesn't include other bills or food

4 of us lived there and most weeks I barely ate

I haven't worked in over a year but I still deal with the physical damage of my job every day as my health gets worse
Of fucking course I don't want to go back to work it'll probably k!ll me
