I don't even qualify for this low income reduced metro pass shit because they base it on gross income. My gross income up to 12/20/16 was $35,122.09 (2,110 hours + 220 overtime hours), $25,096.40 net pay. Essentially my true net pay (minus working an extra 27.5 days which padded gross by about $5k) would be something closer to $19k-20k. The max gross is $23,760. Unfortunately I also have basic obligations like paying my own rent, electricity, mandatory car insurance. I'm also not qualified for any type of relief from those since they use the same guidelines. Then to make it worse i pay ever increasing car tab fees, gas tax, and they're even passed a law that will tax you more based on how many miles you drive. I have to live out of Seattle / Bellevue and more down south with all the trash then commute, because even if I dedicated 100% of my net income to rent and bills it still wouldn't be enough to cover it.
Who the hell actually qualifies for these programs? You either have to have multiple children or no job. What the fuck is going on in this retarded state? Is the goal to push out those who work and want to do it themselves, and replace them with a welfare class governed and ruled by the $250k+ / year crowd?
I'm not whining
@Mac Jesus
; I just wanted to say I'm tired of this. Very, vrry tired and practically seething with rage. At myself; it's madness to remain in a situation like this for 4 years repeating the same behavior, expecting different results. Where do i go, what do i do? Back to school? Re-do my associates, swap some credits with 3-9 classes to make my worthless degree transferable into business, or an AAS? Whatever it is, I'll figure it out. Time to move (literally) then keep moving (figuratively). Willpower and determination and fortitude and perseverance and all that nonsense are required after and during action not to start it.
But I'm here to support you and appreciate whatever you decide to do; we're going to make it. My friend
