Under pressure: I use my entire salary on transport and have to beg for food

[Neptuner]

and the pill....

and a loop…

 

[epah]

Don't see anything unique about her situation which you're taking so much issue with?

The issue i Have is when poor people make babies they cant afford and then cry to the rest of us, same way you see ladies standing by the robots with their young children begging. It is unfair to the child but the selfish parents dont see it. They just keep bonking and keep popping more out.

 

[porchrat]

Mm and we have a 0 failure rate
For those.

Are you honestly going to sit there and try to tell me that South Africa's population explosion is not the result of irresponsible sexual practices but instead because of the less than 1% failure rate of condoms?

I suppose condom failure explains the HIV pandemic too?

I've heard of shaky ground in a discussion before but wow.

Everyone didn't get what they voted for idiot. I sure didn't vote for this sshit show.

The people as a collective is what he is referring to

 

[BeerIsNotGood...]

Minimum wage in this country is really not much of a living wage. Sad really.

What should it be?

 

[Herr der Verboten]

Unfortunately, everyone got what they voted for. Now to find ways to make lifestyle changes and adapting to circumstances.

So DA/VF voters are better off? News flash: majority voted anc and we are all kakking together.

 

[Herr der Verboten]

Why do people have children if they can barely afford to look after themselves?

Grants and insurance claims.

 

[Herr der Verboten]

Sure if she changes her vote next time, she will earn more ?

Of course the fact that majority votes anc matters not.

/math

 

[Herr der Verboten]

Why do you vote ANC?

He doesn't have a Philips Airfryer

Well that's a rather large issue to be so judgemental about considering it's probably hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Even more so with the finite amount of information in the article about her circumstance. I can think of far worse scenarios to take issue with.

 

[quovadis]

What should it be?

I'm not an economist.

 

[Kosmik]

If she is spending R3k on commute, she needs to find closer work, if the money is not worth the differential, look for something else. Even if it pays less but is closer, net is what counts.

Not to mention 3k is around R120 a day, Uber?

 

[Herr der Verboten]

What should it be?

Willing buyer willing seller? Of course price discussion is verboten unless you're the client and not doing it onto others.

If i didn't have to pay taxes to support off springs that aren't mine then i would be fine.
If I didn't have people harassing me for money on the streets to buy their off spring nappies or food then i wouldn't have a problem.
Don't make babies you cant afford to have and then bother me about it. that is when i have an issue. Don't try to guilt me into feeling sorry for you especially because i wasn't invited when yall were bonking in the backroom.

Thanks. I might have red wine later once the beer as settled in, and then pass out and start afresh tomorrow.

Well done to her, despite the financial challenges, still going to work and giving her child the best she can. I can not imagine how you just live with R300, millions do. But difference many will rather sit at home and do nothing. Hope somewhere a better opportunity open for her so they can eat as well and a bright future for the child.

Doubling down eh? Not trying to guilt you into anything. Simply pointing out that you're incredibly upset about someone's circumstance that is not unique nor foreign to society. But you keep punching down if it makes you feel better.
