Because covid has a kill rate of >1%
I don't know WHY we're freaking the fuck out honestly. The biggest threat is to people over 60. Just tell Grandma to stay the fuck inside and get people back to CONSOOMING.
But whatever, this country is already a massive steaming pile of shit, so anything to watch normies squirm is fine by me. Ive got no problem going ditching all my shit and living /innawoods/ for a year or so if shit really slams the fan.
>$5-7k/month
>$60-84k/year
>shitty
Good fucking god people have some utterly warped perceptions holy shit
I'd love if people were actually inspired to pressure their representatives to pass legislation that actually benefits them but so far people seem content with getting absolutely fucked over
Are you me
>covid has a kill rate of >1%
That has nothing to do with the other problem - the economy. Millions of people were put out of work because politicians on both sides mandated that workplaces close indefinitely. Some sectors, like entertainment, simply will not be opening until the general population feels more safe and that's not happening until there's a vaccine. Since anyone with half a brain can see that, the fact that congress can't get its shit together and pass a UBI or rent/mortgage freeze or ANYTHING ACTUALLY HELPFUL should be totally infuriating
That's CAD, 60k CAD is only like 45k USD. It also varies by location. Where I'm at its not that bad, and I'm fairly comfortable, but if I were living in Vancouver or Toronto with my current wage, I'd probably be near destitute.
I've been living debt-free and very comfortably for years on ~$10k/year (USD). I just don't understand how people make $45k and still think they aren't making a lot of money
>I've been living debt-free and very comfortably for years on ~$10k/year (USD)
You've probably been doing that while being heavily subsidized by your parents or the government...
Nah my parents only pay my cell phone bill because it's been a family plan for over a decade. I just don't lust over "nice" housing in the middle of urban areas and I take care of the things I own and know how to cook
>are you ready
They are ready.
Home is where the heart is.
Where the fuck do you live that 10k a year is enough to survive? Even in Central pa I was looking at 600/month minimum for rent plus utilities. If you add on food, insurance, car costs, wifi and cell phone service i don't see how you could make ends meat anywhere reasonably
