  • Yeah, I charitably hope she is interpreting “living wage” as living super comfortably in a mini McMansion in the suburbs with a pool in the back yard and a new car in the driveway every 5 years or so. I mean, that’s how many of this generation experienced success, so it makes sense if that’s her frame of reference. But a literal _living _wage is something you can…you know …live off of. With super extraneous purchases like food and clothes and a roof over your head. They don’t stop and think what they’re expecting people to do - work all day or night long so she can have her ice cream and still not be able to afford rent. It’s cruel and dehumanizing.


  • I mean, I think “those people” believe it’s the billionaire pharma companies lying to them, not the individual researchers. And they’re lying to everyone, including the doctors and public health officials. Not that I agree - that would be difficult to cover up & someone would surely whistleblow. But it does make more sense if you look at the brainwashing in that light.
