My Life on the Walmart Treadmill

This is one of the better things I have read about life in the US for the low end of the population.



I work at Walmart #4609 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and it feels like running on a treadmill. I'm constantly giving an effort, expending energy, yet I stay in the same position. For two years I've been jogging on this treadmill trying to materialize all the effort and energy I've been giving into some kind of tangible reward.

Simple things, like the chance to someday have my own home and car, would be nice. Maybe a raise, or a promotion into a full time position, would help attain my goal, but I haven't had any luck. So I'm still on this treadmill hoping my wind doesn't expire before I reach my goal.
