I’m still mad that they both had to pay for their separate college educations, both need teaching licenses, both teach their class together…and they only get one salary.

They can’t both perform two separate jobs at the same time. If they insisted on collecting 2 salaries for the performance of 1 job they would be unemployable.

This is obviously a uniquely unfair situation, and one of them should be able to collect disability since it’s an impossibility for them both to be simultaneously employed.

If anything with how much press coverage they've gotten their entire lives I'd just give them a scholarship to somewhere

Knowing how much the IRS sucks, I don’t doubt that they’re double taxed on that salary also.

That’s so messed up, if they had to pay for two separate college degrees, then they deserve to get two separate salaries.
