This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No. But maybe not abuse someone in such dire need for a Lil cash and pay fair. Junkie or not. Anyhow. My comment was invalid anyway and I took it back.

I know what you mean, you are right, but that guy is probably paying max he can and they found an arrangement. She's also probably not 1000% dependent on the money so she could also refuse and take a different gig or negotiate.

As I said, I'm totally with you, the work should get paid what it's worth and people should not be cheap about it, I'm just saying consider taking in more contextual information before you call out those enslaving junky exploiting fellas.

You're right, yet there was not much of context. And to assume that people tend to abuse weaker people is not really that unlikely. It's like the core of capitalism. And most people I've encountered would see such a thing as a success.

Yes I totally agree
