This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't see what stops them from having a second shitty job? At 25 hours a week they've definitely got free time.

Dont quote me on this but having a 2nd job would disqualify them from Medicare, which appears to be their only form of health insurance.

That makes sense - for a given value of sense. American health care is just evil.

Working two jobs can be difficult to impossible. The schedules usually aren't fixed and cause frequent conflicts. A lot of places aren't even willing to hire you if already work elsewhere because they don't want the hassle.

I'll second stray's opinion, but also add on that you're typically fighting for a job in those shitty areas. Anon is likely incredibly lucky to have gotten the above average wage job, and will still be in a big competition with others for the average wage jobs.

I get that. I do feel that with 15 extra hours per week, I could figure out some kind of side hustle. Even if all I did was sell random crappy art for cheap, it'd keep me saner than if I spent that time on 4chan
