Yes, she was getting paid a living wage.

Needs are defined to include food, housing, and other essential needs such as clothing.

If you can't afford all of these on a $50k/year salary, it's your fault for being bad with money.

Something tells me she drives a nicer car than me and lives in a nicer apartment while eating nicer food and rarely cooking her own meals.

No, this is greed, not need. And it's next to impossible to call it out for what it is because of how many people participate in it.

I'm saying she had a livable wage already.

Everyone deserves a respectable wage, but we should not conflate wants with needs.

What do you mean? It's a part of their contract. They can take it or leave it.

Lol, memers these days.

Maybe someday people will solve your problems for you.

Just keep waiting and doing what you're doing.

Gonna block you in the meantime.

Lol, I'm sorry you're mad I'm calling out greed for what it is.

Probably because you contribute to it but don't want to acknowledge it.

Yes, the main source of trust is in the repository and its maintainers when choosing a distro.

Fun fact: the scumbag Brendan Eich who made Brave is the same scumbag Brendan Eich who made Javascript!

Yay!

Utilities that manage packages on your system.

Graphical ones include Pamac and Synaptic.

The command-line ones are more known: apt (debian), pacman (arch), rpm (fedora), and yum (suse)

Not sure why you would want to.

Linux package managers are state of the art.

Not sure how this is relevant.

The job qualifications and contracts are different for police officers than teachers.

People don't want to acknowledge facts they don't like.

Legalization is different from glamorizing.

It should be legal, but should not be glamorized. If you don't understand the latter half, it's because you don't know sex workers and probably base your idea of the profession around a few popular outliers.

The vast majority of sex workers hate their jobs and encourage everyone to steer clear of the profession.

You're thinking of a 'respectable wage.'

Living wage means just that. A wage that enables you to live.

there is more to living than just surviving.

I guess if you don't understand the meaning of the word 'living', then sure. It can mean whatever you want, lol.

Lol. Feeling called out, are we?

Calm down.

Forgive me if I don't take everything the US says on the matter at face value.

Will you see support? Yes, absolutely.

I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell that at least 50% of Americans will support sending aid to Israel if given the chance to vote on it.

The left won't support it because they're anti-war.

The right won't support it because their constituency is anti-Israel, anti-Semetic, and follows the talking point 'help Americans first' religiously.

Once workers get paid more, prices just go up.

Make better financial decisions?

I don’t get the problem with sex work.

Sigh. You must not know any sex-workers then.

The recent glamorization of sex-work is something that exists solely by those who do not participate in it.
