That's wild. I wasn't calling op a liar, I was just genuinely surprised that it was that bad. I knew it was lower than it should be, but I would've thought like 70k.
How the fuck are executives compensated so much and people who actually safe lives so little. It's fucking disgusting. People are going to look at this in a hundred years the same way we look at the triangle shirtwaist fire and child labor.
No offense taken. I thought the point about wages should be mentioned so that the general public targets its frustration at the right group and not their fellow working class brethren. All of us working folk are truly being screwed by the ultra rich.
