His dad is the reason some jobs pay as little as 15$/hr. Those O&G companies lobby the GOP that prevents livable wages and increases inequalities.

We're way past needing $15/hr. Should be $20/hr minimum, and really more like $25/hr.
I knew a guy like this.
He stayed on the pills and got the job anyway
What a coincidence. My uncle gave me a job at his oil drilling company as long as I agreed to stay ON my pills.
He also gave a fresh college graduate a job there as long as she agreed to stay on the pill.
My uncle is a bad person
Tell your dad I promise to stay off Quaaludes as long as I get a job!
That's some nice Poe's law there.
Reminds me of my very first job and the addict son who replaced our floor manager.
$15/hr is only $31k/yr before taxes
Yes, we should be somewhere around $30/hour for a living wage now. Of course this will vary by area.
I think the point is it does not equal to the 150k from the post
Ah yes, that is also very correct.
If you "work" for 8760 hours a year it nets out $130k. So not too far off assuming you are on the clock 24/7 with no actual job!
I want the pills and the money.
I’d rather keep taking the pills!
You say you stop taking the pills, but keep on them, of course.
You’ve now got the money to fund it, I don’t see another path.
That's how you negotiate a raise
No pills, but no limits on liquid or powder , loophole.
