Edit - Now they’re arguing over what’s the best way to steal more money from taxes and “special investments”.

Edit 2 - I just learnt they got “gifted” an illegal immigrant as a full-time helper. She stays with the family 24/7. No passport, no visa. Can’t even leave the house. One day off every two weeks.

I feel so uncomfortable around them, knowing all their wealth comes from stolen wages from people like me. (Literally, btw. They didn’t pay their workers for years while buying new cars and houses).

I just feel low-key anxious all the time.

I’m much more comfortable around my well-off doctor relatives than the business ones.

No, she gets paid. She needs that money to send it back home for her family.

Yeah me too. I was so shocked when I heard they too. It sounded so similar to conditions of foreign workers in the Middle East etc.

I just wish I could scream and reappropriate all their wealth.

There was a huge fight over the issue a few years ago when the more morally conscious people in the family tried to do something about it. I was just a kid then but I know the situation didn’t end up getting resolved.

I’ll def do something if she wants to leave. But right now she needs the money to send it back home.
