Anyone who works a full time job ought to earn a living wage. That greedy nutters expect others to work a full time job, however menial, and STILL be unable to provide for themselves and their families is a primary reason for the fact that they are marginalized.
Well that kind of depends on the worth of that full time job doesn't it? Anyone with two hands can shovel shit all day long as it isn't rocket science......and they will get paid according to their skill. If they want ot make enough to live on, they will have to up their skill level and worth as an employee. That my friend is how it works in the real world.
Elitest bullshit.
Son, the fact that you thought running the fryolater at McDonalds was a sweet job that kept you in weed and beer when you were 18, only to find out at 40 it wasn't a good career path is your problem.....not mine. Life is about choices. Always has been, always will be. Some jobs are beginner jobs. You know, the kind that teenagers get and then move on from. Mowing lawns, sacking groceries, stocking shelves, etc. Anyone can do them. Anyone. There is a downs syndrome kid that sacks groceries at the store I use. They are a first step that gets some experience under your belt and a track record of being a good worker who shows up on time and is courteous to the customer. From there, you find a job that requires more skill, more knowledge and in return, you get better pay. Then you repeat that process. Along the way, you go to school and study a subject with a track record of proven need and success. Studying medieval literature is not going to get you anything beyond working in a library or camping with the OWS crowd demanding your fair share. Getting an engineering degree pretty much ensures you are employable and will make a good living. In short, it is how the real world works. The fact that you think at 40 years old, McDonalds owes you a "living wage" for cooking fries for the last 22 years is laughable and pathetic. Elitest bullshit my ass.
