How does somebody 'pay for another's BMW', if they can't afford food?

Blood, sweat, and tears...
Our wages and standard of living have stagnated or been going down for at least the last 30 years,
while the top 1% have been raking in record profits and their incomes are up at least 25% from the products of our labor.

The 9/80 isnt too bad, I really like 3 day weekends. the worst part is the middle of winter when youre arriving and leaving in the dark. also make sure your company changes the holidays to 9 hrs, my company screwed us that way 8hr holidays so if you want the full paycheck you have to use a vacation hr to make the difference :(
