Unpopular opinion: working ONE full time job for full time hours in exchange for getting paid a living wage with not a lot of absolutely absurd strings and conditions attached to it is actually a good situation to be in. The problem is they want us to work well beyond full time hours, at multiple jobs since the cost of living is price fixed, for less than a living wage while passing thc drug tests every 5 minutes. I want to use my tech degrees for ANYTHING besides primarily passing thc tests, the only goddamn thing they care about most of the time. I thought they needed SKILLS.

This is the worst and stupidest timeline and so is everyone who agrees this is how things should me.

I swear to fuck I'm going to learn 3d modelling and start pumping out bulk quantities of 3d porn for money if I have to but the world is a fucking joke right now.

Move to a legal state.

I understand that you'll probably say that's not possible, but there are more and more legal states, and plenty of cheap places in them.

I obviously don't know what your situation is, but if THC drug tests are causing you this much angst, it's worth considering.

I'm currently plotting to bullshit my way into some kind of situation that would involve me moving to Minnesota but I don't yet have any leads. I'll get it someday.
