It looks like they had a balance of $83 at the beginning of the week. They probably had to buy their equipment the previous period along with furniture and shit. I’m sure they paid very inflated prices for all of it. That is all bullshit of course but they are not going to be in debt the next week.
It’s kind of fucked that they were charged a burial fund. If they died in the mines, the mine owner would tell their family to fuck off and pay.
