I know it's fake and gay, but anon should be able to get "cheapest possible" internet at $45/mo and soft unlimited data on cell for $20/mo. Nationwide.
Given their rent is the ridiculously low $750, the $90/mo in gas seems excessive too, although their insurance (esp if you assume <25yo given the source) is almost unbelievable. That's like 2000s numbers, or super super rural which might explain the gas.
The line that makes no sense is the 25 hours because Obamacare. What does Obamacare have to do with anything? He doesn’t qualify for insurance if he works too many hours?
He's blaming obamna for a thing which has been the case forever: companies like to make you part time to avoid paying benefits. Obamacare, being the work of a republican president, didn't close the romneycare loophole.
I think that if someone works enough hours to be full-time (although, Google says 30 hrs/wk, which is less than full-time) the ACA requires the employer to provide some kind of health insurance option or assistance to the employee. So the post is saying employers have multiple part time employees instead of full time employees so they don't have to pay for employee health insurance. I.e., the employer is shitty and unethical, or "smart" as it's considered in Trump's America.
I rent a small house in West Virginia for $750. I'm five minutes from downtown in the capital city, fifteen minutes from the only decentish airport in the state. It's possible.
Oh yeah the 750 I believe, it's just super cheap. West VA makes sense. $90 for gas would make more sense to me in the western liberal states with high gas tax and even higher rent. Doesn't make as much sense to me if your rent is 750.
If they're driving an older truck, it's possible they're getting 12 mpg or something.
Oh that's a fact, I forgot those were somehow legal to drive
