    Let me make something absolutely clear: You are making, according to the US DoL, a median wage of 96k a year, and you feel that this is unjust compensation for the "dangers" of a job working from home talking into a microphone for a few hours a day?

      @verius The pay is moderate in Canada.  Decent, but not really reflective of the risks.  Some parts of the states the pay is really shitty though, so it comes as no surprise that the cops there are crooked, its about the only "perk" to the job at that point, the power over others.  Meanwhile, these voice actors make bank...
