On the other hand some people make $15 a minute to perform professional services civil servants could do. The problem isn't that we have too many greedy poor people, it's that too much wealth is in the hands of far too few.
I agree wholeheartedly. I make $40/hour. Have an advanced degree that I got 10 years post undergrad, had to relocate twice, but $40 as a 39 yr old. My wife can stay home with our two boys and homeschool. I also agree with the other pede about everyone should have to work in public service (retail, food - anything where you're always dealing with people) and you'll learn a lot, not to mention how not to treat others.
The thing is, there is a difference between flipping a burger at McDonald's and a real restaurant.
I would not judge cooks of any kind. Or anyone really. There are a lot of problems, and you have to understand that in a lot of these cities the cost of living is astronomically higher than most suburbs.
What you get are a lot of people in densely populated areas where it's harder to get a good paying job complaining about how they don't make enough to live.
From where I stand, everyone should be able to make a liveable wage. If you are making a business money, you should be paid a liveable wage.
The problem comes into play where everyone wants a house or high end apartment and the regulations, utilities, internet, etc. are all going up in prices which results in liveable wages being higher than they should be, and indeed higher than many businesses can afford to pay out.
Now with food and basic necessities skyrocketing thanks to the left and the cucked deep state RINOs, it costs $20 bucks to fill up a quarter of a tank of gas, $10 bucks for a small meal and rent in the hundreds on top of a car lease (or unforeseen troubles with an owned car) costs numbering in the hundreds, thousands if repairs are needed and you aren't leasing.
Even good bicycles now are $800+ for entry level. And that's for a hybrid, not even a true road bike which you would probably want if commuting a good few miles in the road.
The inflation is out of control and the cost of living goes up, but wages rarely keep up. So when you see these costs going up sharply like they are now and were before Trump, you get a lot of people who are not necessarily low skilled struggling so they turn for help.
It makes sense when you create this scenario that you can exhort your plans to give free money, tuition, etc. to buy yourself power over the other side.
The average person is not ambitious enough to ask for large sums of cash for a job...that we see it in large numbers is telling.
Funny how the fast food chains have de-valued the restaurant and service industries…. Paying a decent wage to hard working people foreshadows the corporate greed of global chain restaurants with crap food and high paid executives. But the worker busting butt to serve unappreciative, needy, rude customers shifts at a time don’t deserve a higher wage. Everyone should work at some point serving the public. You’ll find good food, good service and good prices don’t equal a good tip. Good/above average tippers are a dying breed these days. Higher wages could be necessary to offset the fact customers no longer tip well.
What they also don't realize is that $15 an hour minimum wage the left promises them is all those guys ever intend on each of us making. They don't want each of us to excel and start earning more than their designated minimum wage.
Isn't that what they voted for? Why are they complaining? I mean, when was the last time they read a mean tweet?
No. Someone told them they were going to get free tuition, etc., and they fell for it
And this is what happens when people want $15 an hour to flip a burger.

Yup, the fight to take your own legs out from under you. Idiots. Want better pay? Get a better job

I have tipped 20% for years. My husband is the tight wad.

Socialists ALWAYS cause a famine. Look at the 20th century every. last. single. communist/socialist country starved.
