yeah, I had a corporate gig doing CSR where we got a yearly bonus based on company performance that could creep into the couple thousand dollar range, t'was nice. most jobs have poo poo all for bonuses though. also, in 15 years of working wage slave I've had exactly one proper vacation w/ the week off and some travel, yee haw.

if you try to do a wage comparison between now and then, you'd want to normalize for the increased parasitism from the increased economic rents and debt slavery when comparing the wage comparing simple consumer baskets of milk and steak would probably be very misleading

Hustlin Floh posted:At a pivotal moment in the trial Elon stands up and open-palm slams a tape into a nearby VCR. It's the British dude porking a suspiciously young Thai girl. As the courtroom erupts into chaos, the camera on the video tape pans over to reveal Elon is also involved in the sex acts. As he is handcuffed and led away, Elon laughs manicially, his revenge complete no matter the cost.

Like there’s an episode where he orders a bunch of MRIs to stall for time, and the guy probably racks up like $80k in debt as a result if he has lovely health insurance.

Even in season 1 there were countless outs, like when the other founders from the startup he left offered to pay for everything and make sure his family was taken care. Jessie Pinkman and most of the 'lowlife' guys are the ones failed by the system.
