I made $80k last year I'll make 20k this year. I'll survive. I lost my job I'm one of those IT people. But its TEMPORARY .

If you're in IT with any real expertise jobs are there. I chose to get my degree but I've turned down $45-55k a year jobs just to focus on school.

OK well fuck let's just give everyone who gets laid off free $50k/year jobs right? Why stop at $9 hr.

Let's just give everyone a free house and food and a car. Fuck it let's do it. No more poverty.

The argument you're making is ridiculous with all due respect.
