digging through my records recently and I stumbled across my first job contract; I worked a couple months seasonally at a Toys R Us

my wage was £5.07/hour

this was 2005, I had just turned 17

after Googling the current minimum wage in the UK, I was appalled

the “National ‘Living’ (lmfao) Wage” for:

- over-23s: £10.42

- 21-22: £10.18

- *18-20: £7.49*

kids today are making 47.73% more than I did…**18 years ago**

this represents an annual increase rate of just 2.2%

if you thought Gen-Z were fucked,

Gen Alpha are fucking-fucked

get the guillotines out again, #plebs…
