No I had jobs that paid a little over minimum wage (most were $9-$10 hr). Many didn’t offer health insurance either, so I was always afraid of what would happen. In fact, I had to declare bankruptcy at one time, and let me tell you, having over $200 a paycheck taken out every two weeks for 5 years is not easy to handle when you only make $10/hr. Let’s just say OT was a saving Grace, but most of that was eaten up in childcare and school costs. I know what it’s like to barely get by, but I also learned how to manage as well. Even today, I have a job that offers health insurance, but it’s so shitty, ($7000 deductible before the insurance even kicks in) that I hope I never need to use it. I pay $210 every two weeks for that benefit. Thank god my wife has a way better insurance through her job that covers the kids. My issue is that the current administration is avoiding the current problems (like 40 yr high inflation, gas prices being higher, and shortages in stores) trying to get free childcare and preschool for the future. Fix the issues that we have now first, then look at the future. His own policies caused 2 of the 3 issues he is ignoring.
