      I should have put “paltry” in quotes to show it was sarcastic.

      I knew plenty of people that joined right out of high school, some weeks before 9/11. Signing bonuses like that were absolutly live changing for many people, which is why they went for it, and went they’re not “elites” for shopping at a fucking PX.
