(38,311 posts)I may have some brains, but I thoroughly damaged my body getting paid well for heavy physical labor when I was younger.
The first time I got paid more than $100 in a day I was moving furniture. I've done a lot of warehouse work, loading and unloading trucks and such, but my body simply can't do it full time any more, not even as a volunteer at the food bank.
My car is an $800 piece of shit, and our health insurance is crappy. What we thought was good insurance covered only a fraction of our medical expenses when we got hit with random illnesses that can happen to ANYONE.
No, I do not believe the U.S.A. is exceptional. We do not live in a true first world nation because we're so fucking gullible that people still celebrate Saint Ronald Reagan the meat-puppet, a pathetic little worm who'd say anything for a blow-job.
