I'm not going to pick it apart, step by step and I shall thank Ambassador for making it clear what a decent employer should be doing but I will say that many people have kids they very much can afford but then circumstances change. Many people live very much within their means, but then circumstances change. Sometimes very rapidly and catastrophically.
If people are relying on the regular overtime to survive, that's a them problem not a GNE problem.
GNE didn't force their drivers to get themselves into debt to the point where they need the overtime.
GNE didn't force their drivers to have children they couldn't afford.
GNE didn't cause the drivers partner to lose their job so they now have to rely on one income.
GNE didn't even put Liz Truss into power allegedly causing the economy to go tits up.
If the drivers aren't living within their means, that's entirely on them and absolutely nothing to do with GNE.
