There are fast food restaurants in the Bay Area who only open half days because they literally can't find anyone to work. The BK down the street is paying $19 an hour right now, and they're having a really hard time finding anyone. No one can afford to live here on $20 an hour. There are people making $50k in SF who are living in tents.

Extreme income inequality is BAD policy for a reason.

But it's adorable that you think you have any concept of what's going on when your comment makes it clear that you do not.

So what are you doing to help the community? Surely you’re doing something and not just rolling around in your 5x money being a 20 percenter and destroying your community while assuming someone else will help instead. Right?

Right?

She is commenting on a message board, duh.

If this dumbass law passes they should start charging 1 cent for meals. What’s the government gonna do, force them to charge more?

She's making so much money that even she thinks it's disgusting. She fully admits that she's part of the problem of people making too much money and it's just totally ruining surrounding businesses. So what is she doing? Is she asking for her income to be taxed an extra 10-20%? No.

Is she giving all of her excess money to a needy family of color? No.

She's asking for her meal benefits to be taxed, so if her work values her meal benefits at 5 dollars a day she might pay an extra 100 dollars in taxes a year. This coming from the woman who supposedly makes over 100 dollars an hour. This is her solution.

I don't see any reason to be impressed by a $100/hour salary. Even if earning that amount made your opinion more valuable (which of course it doesn't), there are a few semi-active/active users on this board who make more. Skilled engineers (especially software and hardware engineers) with experience tend to be well-paid.

Impossible! time4fun has assured us that she makes more than the top 10 income earners on the PC combined. You're not suggesting someone on the internet just lies are you?

Well, to be fair, that's hardly a wage that is unattainable. Sure, she could be lying but really, who cares?

I've got you all beat. Well, my combined income anyway.

Prove that I don't!

That's right, I'm a fucking Rockefeller. Or fucking a Rockefeller. Hey, it could happen!

Exactly.
