I started working in a grocery store about a year before the pandemic. I’ve seen prices of food double in some cases. My pay has only gone up $2 due to the minimum wage in my city increasing. $2 raise in almost 5 years. I can no longer afford to shop at the store I work at, it’s insane. I have no idea how this article can pretend things are remotely ok for the common person. I’m sure higher ups/managers are just fine, but not the rest of us.
This is a bit disappointing to see since I just joined Beehaw. This is actually my first comment. However, I sympathize with the mods and completely understand where they are coming from. I’ll probably try to stick around because I like the idea of what this community is trying to be, but if it switches to a microblog instance, such as Mastodon, I probably won’t stay just because I don’t like that format of social media. Would be interested in knowing what other instances or communities would be white listed if they choose to go that route.
What scandal did Matrix have? I only just tried out Matrix like a month ago and am unaware of anything like that.
