Good news, everyone! We temporarily stopped the orphan crushing machine!

Remember. Lots of people in this country look at this and say he doesn't deserve a house because his job isn't good enough.

"Guy who works in food service admits that he went to work sick and likely spread it to hundreds of people because it's the only way he could make ends meet, and now he can afford a house but not because of his hard work, but because it went viral on the internet."

What a heart warming story.

You to can work all your life and almost buy a house.

-Work 27 years without a day off, following every advice to "stop being lazy and work"

-Still not being able to afford housing without generous donations

Man we as a society should all pool our resources together so that things like this can be done on a much larger scale wouldn't that be cool

I never missed a healthy day of work in the past 22 years, i have called in sick a handful of times to prevent others from getting sick.

I worked 84h weeks, but mainly 40/45h weeks.

If i hadn't had my savings taken away at 17 i could have bought a house at 18, nowadays my labour isn't valuable enough to afford me a house.

So if anyone has a spare 500k laying around so i can buy a small house...i'd gladly receive it.

We could wait the extra 5 years but i'm afraid a small home will cost closer to a million then.

Gotta love this economy and all these fancy modern things we get to enjoy...if we can afford them.

"In our magnanimity, we let this worker drone pretend to belong to the real people who get to own stuff. Isn't it cute? Look at its widdle smile."

I wouldn't say the orphan crushing machine was stopped so much as one person was pulled off the conveyor.

I've opened the link thinking I would read an onion article.

How is the Onion supposed to survive when reality give us things like that ?

I cannot wait for the sweet release of death to overtake me

He got $440,000 from the GoFundMe.

And approximately $407,000 from working at Burger King for 27 years, if he worked at an average of the current minimum wage.

So how many of those days did he prepare food sick? This orphan crushing machine isn't even hygenic.

Nothing new in "Land of the Free"

Don't see any of you white breads offering him a job

Permanently Deleted

27 years huh? Does he have learning disabilities? Sounds like he should have shopped around the job market a little.. maybe he just likes the motto 'have it your way ' or he thought he was the king of burger king.

Bro, get a different job

Sensationalist bullshit. Nobody works 27 years in Burger King unless there is something fucked up in his life. If it was really that bad, there would be a link to the actual article.
