Fair points. I’ve done my days in the shop working 12 hours in 100 degree heat making not enough money. I’ve been a factory rat my entire adult life here in Michigan, until I forgot to pull out and had a kid, and decided to start my own FFL instead of give up the next few decades to the shops for too little cash.

We all need more money. We’ve been paid too little for years. My dad used to hop shop to shop and get a dollar raise every year. I was a manufacturing team lead and I could hardly afford housing let alone my tendies and gats, when I literally had General Motors’ balls in my hand every day and could shut one of their plants down at a whim. Outperformed Mexico, doubled production output, won quality awards, and made $17 an hour. The fuck is that? I was an exceptional candidate and got less than the fedgov’s recommended livable wage for my area.

I’m glad I dedicated my life to gats. At least I’m poor and enjoy my toil now. Lets get drunk and shoot things.
