I'm just gonna put it out there that I live in the state of Georgia, I work for a office supply company as acoordinator making $153,000 a year working 30 hours a week.
Alright I'll get the AI on the case to see if it can determine those things from your post.
I'm a crackhead in MD, I make about $100 a week scrapping catalytic converters.
I'm a janitor in Jersey City making 18 bucks an hour.
