I was paid today.

My paycheck, for 2 weeks of work, was $716.53.

I am scheduled for 4 days per week, 8 hours per shift, with a 1/2 hour, unpaid break.  That is considered full-time employment.  Eventually I will be eligible for health insurance and other benefits and will not need financial assistance from welfare other than my housing voucher, without which I would still be homeless.

I am not complaining about earning an average of less than $400/week.  I am happy to be working.

However, it is DISGUSTING that I am abused every day by multi-millionaires, corporations, advertising agencies, online platforms, governments, the media, cultural institutions, and everyone else who feels like it.
