A second teacher at a high school in Missouri was put on leave after administrators discovered her OnlyFans side hustle.

Megan Gaither, 31, said during an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was placed on leave from her English teaching and varsity cheerleading coach position on Oct. 27 after district officials found out about her account on the OnlyFans platform.

    Subsistence wage is what you are thinking of, to meet basic biological necessities. A living wage allows for moderate comfort, because there is more to living than just surviving.

      You’re thinking of a ‘respectable wage.’

      Living wage means just that. A wage that enables you to live.

      there is more to living than just surviving.

      I guess if you don’t understand the meaning of the word ‘living’, then sure. It can mean whatever you want, lol.

          Yes, she was getting paid a living wage.

          Needs are defined to include food, housing, and other essential needs such as clothing.

          If you can’t afford all of these on a $50k/year salary, it’s your fault for being bad with money.

          Something tells me she drives a nicer car than me and lives in a nicer apartment while eating nicer food and rarely cooking her own meals.

          No, this is greed, not need. And it’s next to impossible to call it out for what it is because of how many people participate in it.

          Lol, I’m sorry you’re mad I’m calling out greed for what it is.

          Probably because you contribute to it but don’t want to acknowledge it.
