Steve Buscemi deserves a living wage bruh
For all the homies surviving on instant ramen: stuff like Spam, cheap gyoza/mandoo/shumai, and/or eggs can greatly help in making sure you get some cheap protein.
For homies surviving on instant ramen AND don’t want to die early, consider adding frozen veggies to this list. Otherwise, good tip!
This is what real poor people like me eat. Except I don’t have a preezer so I have to eat canned corn
You drink that corn water for the extra vitamins too?
Run it through the blender for a corn smoothie
If you’re really lazy, you could just guzzle down a can of creamed corn.
Unless you’re literally starving to death, spam never has a positive impact on your diet. It’s basically just salt, gelatin, and connective tissue scraped off the bone. Adding extreme quantities of salt to an item that already has extreme quantities of salt is awful nutritional advice, no matter how small the budget.
But salt has the electrolytes the body craves!
I’m poor and I sweat so much at my manual labour job that I get weak from the amount of electrolytes I have sweat out. Spam has the appropriate amount of salt for my poverty level. Gatorade is so far above my price level. Salt added to water gets me through the day.
It is, but if that’s all you can afford to eat sometimes….
Also, dunno if they sell it on the mainland, but you can get less salty Spam so it’s less shit for your health. It’s also amazing in a musubi and can be pretty cheap since all you need is Spam, rice, and nori. Maybe add a little shoyu for flavor.
Yeah, whenever COVID hit we got even busier. People quit and we were understaffed, it was horrible. Didn’t get a cent more and not so much as a thank you. Not to mention customers were outrageous at the time, with the whole mask stuff. Like dude I just work here, I couldn’t give two shits about your beliefs and politics, I just want to have a decent day and get paid for it.
Yeah, whenever COVID hit we got even busier.
“Hey, stay home and if you go out, wear a mask.”
“NO! I’m going to go out and berrate a minimum wage employee for shit out of their control!”
I sort of understand, I was assaulted because I didn’t care about someone’s opinion on masks. He was pissed I was wearing a mask, so logically he sucker-punched me with a roll of nickels and ran. The irony being I was actually being polite at the time, I’m getting too old for this shit lol.
The guy who drew this is on a podcast called Lemon Party that’s hilarious.
Oof, he’s only on Instagram and Twitter… I guess I won’t check him out.
(I’m interested in the comic, not a modern day radio show.)
lol eat shit
McDonald’s workers taking advantage of their free meal already do.
lol Sad, but true.
As an essential worker during COVID, I got paid ok, but no more than those sent home for the duration until they bought the tech to let us work from home
mcdonalds employee = essential worker?
“Essential worker” just means non-union poors, realistically. If you’ve got no leverage and don’t make enough to have any savings, you are required to continue going to work no matter what happens.
It just means employees of businesses that were able to continue operation during the pandemic lockdowns. Iirc, being a source of sustenance enabled fast food/takeout to remain open. Regardless of the nutritional value offered.
That’s how “essential worker” included both medical professionals and fast food. It is also how certain call centers were still crammed with people unless remote was made available. The phrase was seemingly used to help improve morale for those forced to work while benefits for the unemployed paid out more than their wages.
You’d be amazed how many people are too stupid to cook a meal for themselves.
According to most US states, yes.
In the UK there was no question that McDonald’s would be closing.
