So what should they do without 10 days of income they likely need for food, shelter, etc? Not eat? Get evicted? Sounds like a great way to not avoid death

This is super informative without being condescending, wonderful job
I hope you have a great day!
Interesting! Thank you for the insight, I’ve always loved the topic of direct translation vs contextual translation ever since I dove into it in a Contemporary Japanese Literature course in college
Would “just throw the whole thing away” (as in throw it into the trash) be a more fitting translation for the sentiment than “let it rot” then?
Small correction - federal minimum wage is $7.25, not $7.29
I actually had more fees when with a credit union. Iirc they wanted $3 to issue a cashier’s check - the bank I was with charged $5 for a cashier’s check… after you had used the free one they allowed each month.
The bank also honored my request to decline charges that would overdraft my account. They don’t charge for declining these charges. The credit union ignored my choice on that and charged overdraft fees without any notification to me that my checking account was negative (I had money that was in a savings account linked to the checking, I had just forgotten to transfer after getting paid). So I think ymmv for the quality of banks and credit unions.
My bank has a system where overcharging a checking account can pull from a linked savings account to avoid overdrafts.
Instead of a $35 overdraft fee, you get charged $10 for the intense labor they do of transferring the money for you. /s
If companies were actually taking in 2 applicants instead of 1 and that in need of employees, I doubt we’d be seeing so many people desperate enough to find employment that they flood a job fair not intended for them.
I’m deeply invested in bitterness for leaving 1 comment pointing out that it might not even be a choice for someone if they couldn’t afford it? Lol. Get a grip. I can simultaneously be thankful that modern medicine exists and also advocate for it being available to everyone, not just those that can afford it.
