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.

Something tells me if they gave him 40 hours he'd be posting about how he has no free time to enjoy his life.

Mkay but why shouldn't someone be able to live a dignified life working 25 hours a week? Why does it have to be 40?

He's got a roof over his head, food to eat, and a ton of leisure time. That is dignified.

His comment about one accident away is something he'd still be facing with 40 hours a week. We could all do with improvements to the social safety net.

I don't know how leisurely that leisure time is gonna be, considering he's only got a hundred bucks to play with, coupled with the stress and anxiety of being one car repair or injury away from financial ruin.

You're absolutely right that the social safety net needs improvements, but that net should be there for everyone, not just those that work some arbitrary number of hours.
