first lesson, prof has to step out, so we just get tasks.

middle of that, news come that second lesson is only tasks too, teacher sick. i couldve gone to school 4 hours later

the normal entrance is blocked off bc they're digging up something, so now its a whole detour to get into the building

the social studies teacher keeps finding bad topics to discuss (todays feature: how much money do u think makes a fair wage?) that just lead to heated opinions

and then i get almost assaulted bc i stepped between a muslim girl and the town lunatic waiting for my tram home

jesus wept

wraps you in a blanket and puts the kettle on

i should do that in fact, i still sniffle around

i'm still baffled that there are ppl - over the age of 21 - in my class who think 1200-2300 bucks before tax is a sufficient living wage

in what timeline

squints

that isn't a living wage HERE, and we have a much better tax allowance and also £1 is like 1.15 euro

minimum wage is at 1900 alone

(presuming that's monthly?)

yeah, monthly

yeah like. i make about that after tax (and after conversion) and I'm struggling

I can't imagine trying to live on that as a renter in a city

one guy also stated that "surely there are poor countries where 100€ is a high wage" and like... buddy. thats not how money conversion works

(actually, I can, which is the problem)

ALSO THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S A LIVING WAGE, PAL

EVEN IN THOSE COUNTRIES

there are places in the world where 10€ would be considered a good wage and that is a large part of the problem

i´m convinced thats the same (lack of) thinking as ppl who go be a tourist in vietnam and are all "tehehe, i'm a millionaire here"

ayep

also people who see no problem with outsourcing to those countries because it's cheaper

mmm love the smell of labour exploitation in the morning
