Well that's just f*cking retardedA clear sign that you don't "earn" your money and you are overpaid.

Lol, I've never heard it called that.Dude, he lives in trailer house
I agree... money should be earned not just given. Typical of government jobs. On a good note, the job I am transitioning to will allow me to not focus so much on the cost of gas.Well that's just f*cking retarded
Diesel pumps are a different color than gas."The button to the left"? How far left? How do you know it's not diesel? 1 or 2 diesel? Your smug point is falling apart.
So, then you will be making too much money and not earning your income? You literally just turned your attempted insult of me on yourself.I agree... money should be earned not just given.

They don't have a hard time, they just think that it strengthens their narrative. Kind of like Thx trying to make it a bad thing that I do volunteer work in my community.I don't get why some of you people have a hard time believing that some people don't look at the price of gas or groceries and such.
No, you attempted to turn my insult around on me but failed. The money I earn has value to me which is why I pay attention to what things cost. I maximize my my spending by buying frugally if I can. Money last longer that way.So, then you will be making too much money and not earning your income? You literally just turned your attempted insult of me on yourself.
Government jobs are why you had streets to drive on when you delivered pizza. They are why there is a fire department in your city. Why they have a police force. Why you have mail delivered to your house. Why there is a military that you want to protect us from "communists". They are probably a good portion of why people were able to buy the pizza you delivered.
Here's the thing: MY job is not even cost-neutral. It's cost-negative. I have to show a return that is triple my cost. What jobs have you had where your employer got 3x in profit what they paid you? How much does the military EARN as opposed to COST?

Volunteering is not a bad thing. This is that lack of comprehension thing you do. I said you must not like your wife because you volunteer your free time away rather than spend it with the woman you say you love and vowed to love for the rest of your life. That was my point.They don't have a hard time, they just think that it strengthens their narrative. Kind of like Thx trying to make it a bad thing that I do volunteer work in my community.
When they have nothing, they clutch at straws.
i.e., not volunteering for the benefit of society but for selfish and hurtful reasons.Volunteering is not a bad thing. This is that lack of comprehension thing you do.

Hey, dumbass, I literally just told you what I meant and what my point was. How are you this damn stupid????i.e., not volunteering for the benefit of society but for selfish and hurtful reasons.
Ergo, my volunteering is a bad thing.
Comprehensive enough for you?

You failed to answer the question of how it benefits you to know the price of gas at the pump when you fill up, if you can't change it in any way and you can't choose NOT to use it.No, you attempted to turn my insult around on me but failed.

I know why we have these things. Doesn't mean I am wrong in saying government employees typically are overpaid.
Yes, typically employers make several times in profit what they pay their employees.
THERE is nothing about that sign that matters to me in the context of driving in and filling up. I also don't need to look at a menu when I go out for Chinese food b/c I know what I am ordering already. I know the gas stations in my city and can navigate to them without looking up to see the price on their sign/s.View attachment 32857
Their is nothing we can do about the price of gas, but not having any idea of the price seems almost like lack of awareness of your surroundings.
Slow down... breathe.You failed to answer the question of how it benefits you to know the price of gas at the pump when you fill up, if you can't change it in any way and you can't choose NOT to use it.
If it's a question of budgeting and only buying what you can afford until the next bit of money rolls in, then it makes sense. I do not live dollar to dollar and have not since I started working, so I do not have to put $5 in just to get to the next place I will get some cash.
When you see a price, do you waste gas and money driving around town looking for a better price, only to find out they're all the same? Do you do that with other essential commodities like water/gas/electric?
If you get injured, do you price shop the ER for the cheapest? When you get there, do you check the formulary and forego some treatments based on price? "Stitch it up without numbing it. That stuff is too expensive".
When the cost cannot be avoided, the cost becomes irrelevant. I cannot avoid the cost of gas if I am to remain employed. It therefore is irrelevant for me to know the cost at fillup. Were I ANY type of self-employed or contracted delivery driver, I STILL wouldn't pay attention unless I was building it into the cost of each delivery.
Instead, I would be doing EVERYTHING I could to maximize what I get out of each gallon of gas I buy. Fuel efficient vehicle, shortest and fastest routes, delivering once to the same are with multiple packages instead of multiple trips, setting up routes that involve the maximum number of right-hand turns possible. THAT is stuff that shows frugal spending, NOT simply knowing the price during an unavoidable purchase.
Please tell me EXACTLY what knowing the price does for you at that moment in time, and how I am somehow less of a person in your eyes for NOT knowing or caring to know. Your excuse that it is "being frugal" holds no water unless you can show how it saves you money.
