    I know they were scared to lose their livelihoods but there’s no way my job could have that level of control over me. ” Sorry fuckfaces but biblical stuff is happening outside, I’m out”

      How many times in your life have you been without a meal for an entire day because you couldn’t afford one? Ever been without a place to live?

        More times than I can die that’s for sure.

        Good luck fighting my unemployment when I tell them I got fired for keeping myself safe in a natural disaster.

        If you don’t leave the building you will not be having any more meals ever again.

        I would rather risk homelessness and starvation rather than drowning. If the water around the place I am is rising I am going to get to safety. Full stop. No job is worth risking my life for.

        I understand what you’re saying, but at the end of the day if you are dead, nothing else matters.

        Yes and yes. And now I don’t rely on untrustworthy businesses for my paycheque. It’s not worth the risk.

        I could go without for a day… but if I had dependents, I’d be worried for not just the day, but every day after that too
