people are still under my post arguing about Staffs salary like they’re rolling in dough instead of just thinking more than 2sec.

I swear some people heard “eat the rich” once and thought “rich means someone who makes more than me regardless of the conditions surrounding them” and based their entire worldview around that. Fuck’s sake.

"these people pay themselves enough of a livable wage that they don't have to stress over groceries vs bills and that's Bad somehow" good lord.

similar to how some people take "fuck landlords" to mean "we're coming after your mom that you're paying rent to help ends meet." lot of people just want a slogan that gives them permission to be an asshole

Coda @Codarobo6/14/2024, 6:18 AM

Yeah like. There is a dramatic fucking difference between a category of person or business whose only job is owning a house other people live in and someone who, for purely circumstantial reasons, asks someone they live with to pay/help pay for rent lol

There's someone I know of that had people coming after them for "being a landlord" because

checks notes

they had a partner they lived with who helped pay a share of bills

🙃

This specific one is funny to me because like, English has “landlord” and “homeowner” as two different words!! Difference should be clear, but no apparently lmao.

(French for example doesn’t and it causes so many issues when talking about those issues lmao)

i've seen complaining before about this same thing regarding artists who are able to charge a high enough price for their work that they're actually fairly compensated and able to live comfortably. and it's like. bitch. these are the laborers!! these are not members of the class who make money by having money, they are not forcibly sucking the lives and livelihoods out of the working class, these are people working and making and being compensated fairly. you should want the working class to ALL be lifted to a point where they can afford rent and food and bills and emergencies without being existentially threatened

Also... cost of living... regional differences... going rates for particular careers... costs of being disabled... inflation.... those salaries are not high...
