According to the BLS, the median wage (as of May 2023) is $23.11. At a 40 hour work week, 50 weeks per year, that's a $46,110 annual wage.

Median rent for a 2 bedroom apartment (as of Nov 2023 is $1,904. That's $22,848 annually.

So rent is 22,848/46,110 = 49.6% of income. Traditionally, this would be closer to 30%.

Wealth inequality is the highest it's ever been. While I admire your optimism, the situation isn't that great for the majority.

It's one of those ambiguous things that employers seem to be leveraging to their advantage. Where I work, plenty of people do 8-5. Those of us who have been around longer and don't give as much of a shit will count lunch as part of our day.

If there's booze involved, then definitely 13.

If there's no booze allowed... 13.

It was a big hit.

 

Just swim across--the crocodiles are still at the meeting.

 

but they couldn't start because someone was missing. Who was it?

It was the giraffe. It's still stuck in the fridge.

 

Open the door, remove the elephant, put the giraffe in the fridge, then close the door.

 

Open the door, put the elephant into the refrigerator, and close the door.

 
 

It's okay, though. They told me to reapply every few hours.

 

Grunk need job. Grunk see job carving. Carving say need ten season experience with wheel. But Grunk invent wheel 5 season ago. Grunk think job giver have wheel in place of head.

 

I won't be taking questions.

 
 

Bonus points if someone warned you and you went ahead anyway.

 

Good? Remorseful? Personally, I regret not treasuring it more when we had it.
