You to can work all your life and almost buy a house.
Worst part is he’s probably better off than most people working at Burger King since his restaurant is unionized.
You read the article as well. I was shocked the insurance is that good. I find articles like this a mixed bag. Good for him. Sounds like a hard working man. Sad that he had to have donations to buy a home.
If you behave like a mule, you will be treated as one. 27 years of work is way over the line of "he didnt have any chance to move on or get promoted".
Absolutely shameful behavior to call someone supporting their children a mule.
Just as others have pointed out, some people will look at this and get angry because his job isn't "good enough" to earn him a house.
That guy is one of those people.
Sometimes I think a requisite period of severe poverty and/or homelessness should be requisite for every American. Like Hunger Games: Marginalization Edition.
Nah then it would be trivialized because everyone did it and then the rich assholes would talk about how easy it was for their superior posteriors
