    I didn’t mean to sound like I was blaming you - I realize how it came across that way and I’m sorry.

    Your situation sucks. And I know you’re not alone, there are tons of areas that have what basically works out to a labor surplus. It drives wages down because there’s no protection for workers and the minimum wage is a fucking joke.
