Re: Where is the incentive to work for poor people?

This is what a lot of people were shouting at me at work. I mean real condemnation. But at the moment, doing the social group, full time in my job is not a possibility. Regardless, I get sick and...

I have a Wi-Fi radio. Over 8000 stations at my disposal! :d
