    If a job at McDonald’s doesn’t pay your bills and groceries then who do you think would even do this job?

    People who are already wealthy and do it just for the fun of flipping burgers?!

      So many people believe those jobs solely exist for highschool college kids to get started in life until they ‘develop skills.’ I can’t even imagine the lack of empathy you have to have for all those not in that position desperately trying to live.

      Maybe! I have long maintained that if I ever luck into being obscenely wealthy, I will absolutely open some manner of food service or retail establishment similar to those I’ve worked at in the past, but not give a fuck about turning a profit and make a cornerstone of my business telling off customers for being the rude, self-centered, and entitled little shits that so many of them are. I’ll consider it a much needed public service.

      They are trying to get us to accept the the new American Economic Paradigm that ALL households require at least two paychecks to exist, and 3 or 4 if you want to get ahead.

      Of course, employers want us to be enslaved to them for our entire schedule, so they don’t like us working second jobs or side hustle.

      Time for Robin Hood economics (take from the rich, give to the poor).
