If this is the case it would be an… interesting thought process. You can’t sit there and claim you’ve discovered something absolutely ground breaking and game changing in the field and then think that no one is going to try and replicate that.
Well maybe if they had picked themselves up by the bootstraps, saved more of their income, stopped buying chai lattes and avocado toast every day for lunch, and had daddy give them a million dollars worked really hard to earn their cash, they could have bought their freedom.
Under federal law, you can work 2 full time jobs, 80 hours a week, and still not make $120/day ($120 = 8 hrs x $15/hr). $15/hr isn't insane, it's not even bare minimum anymore.
Ever since Trump got elected (and probably before that too, I just don’t know when) conservative people in general, not just politicians, but your everyday Americans, have been more comfortable showing themselves to be racist, anti-science, ignorant morons. Which makes me sad.
