working hard for the money

Things have been a little nuts in our household lately. Matt was effectively gone all week for band tour, I started my (hopefully) last semester at SFSU [I want to transfer to the university where matt works], and afterschool has been crazy. I stopped working at my second job, so money has been a big issue for me. When I was looking at worldchanging, I saw this graph:



the working class are working harder than ever to pay for 15 gallons of oil. Meanwhile, CEO’s are working a mere 33 seconds. The distribution of wealth in this country is ridiculous. Minimum wage is very high in the Bay Area, and Matt+I are lucky enough to earn much more than that per hour, but our gasoline also costs a lot more!
