If you live in a first world country, living vegan is honestly not a problem at all. And of course I'm not counting the US here. These guys are just poor people that are challanged enough already.

    Normal governments would just transfer everyone €200 back and not the companies that didn't pay for it in the first place. The US is so cringe.

    This post heavily inflates the numbers to maximize the drama.

    First month's rent: That's not an added moving expense. You pay rent every month regardless of where you live.

    Moving truck: If money is tight, you rent a cheap van and move yourself with friends like everyone else.

    Yes, having the cash upfront for a new deposit while waiting for the old one to return is a real liquidity trap. But framing $4,000 as the absolute baseline to escape a rent increase is pure ragebait. It makes the poster sound like someone who has never actually had to do a budget, DIY move.

    Walls between apartments are usually 25cm thick brick walls or even concrete in Austria. Worked in the field. Drywalls are very unusual even inside a flat. Most of the time you have 12cm thick brick walls.

    So a bullet going from flat to flat is veeeryyy unlikely.

    In Europe 4-6weeks off per year are a norm. Some companies even offer unlimited sabbaticals. That's why I go every other year on a 2 month vaccation + normal vaccation in between.

    Fight for your rights. Unionize.
