Paid to Protest: Not Worth It

Hey, listen up. This happened to me last week. I was walking home

from work. When this group pulls up in a van. They say, "We'll pay you good

money to protest for these folks." Sounded easy, right? A few hours waving

signs. But here's the catch. These people they're fighting for? They wouldn't lift

a finger for me if I needed help. <break time="0.5s" /> Worse? If things go south—riots, cops—I could lose

my life. Or end up in jail. For what? And get this. I know these groups

are scamming the system. Committing fraud. Sucking up my tax dollars.

My hard-earned money! Funding their lies while I'm scraping by. <break time="0.5s" /> I said no.
