you know what's sort of fucked up? i saw this originally on another board (not gfy) where people are saying that the people in the hotels are all living the good life on fema's dime. they said that walmart is hiring like mad. it pissed me off because walmart pays minimum wage where i am. so figure you clear $700 per month and you have two kids. you'll need to buy work clothes, pay for transpo - it'll take you two months to save up the money to get a single and pay all the deposits - that's IF you didn't need a babysitter. if you're lucky, you're talking $100 per week - and damn, now you're making $300 a month.

it amazes me how many people who don't live on minimum wage feel that people are being lazy because they don't want to end up with a job that will keep them from making enough money for their families to to eat :-/
