Fast Food Strike in 100 Cities

http://www.today.com/video/today/53743043#53743043

Single Mom of a 2 year old with another on the way. Already on Food Stamps and Medicaid. Perhaps her life choices are her problem.

 

I can't help but to chuckle at the entitled mentality of people in today's society. Wonder how many of those striking will be working at those places again?

 

I saw another story on another channel. They interviewed a divorced single mother of 2 also on public assistance who is striking. It is not her choices that are the problem. It is not her ex-husband(s) that are the problem. McDonalds is the problem.

 

I received no financial support from my parents and applied for loans and worked full time to help pay tuition for college. I got a math degree. After 15 years my final payment will be due in August. To hell with them.

 

At least they are working, but they are idiots.

 

Single mothers make the world go 'round, according the Obama. So, it's gotta be McDonald's fault.

 

the one I thought was humorous was the "why should people have to work on thanksgiving!" protestors last week. I probably worked on thanksgiving 5 or 6 times when I was younger and I was happy to get the 1.5 times pay.

 

I enjoy single moms too. I show my appreciation $1 at a time.

 

So, you're a "rain" man?

 

Irresponsible sluts wanting a living wage. Just awful.

 

I consider it more of a light mist. Got to leave them wanting more.

 

Much better to just subsidize these companies' employees through government programs. More efficient.


It has been said that people on these programs are lazy and don't work. Then there is a story about working people who want to be paid enough so they aren't dependent on social programs... If you want these people to just go away and die, say so.

 

poor bastards have no choice where to work. how I hate our caste system.

 

exception proves the rule. got it.

 

Yes, there are jobs everywhere. Just oodles of good jobs.

 

I think it's your responsibility to figure out how to live on what you make, not to demand to make enough to live on what you have.

The reason fast food workers don't make "a living wage" (whatever the hell that means) is because a retarded monkey can do your job. I worked fast food in high school, it was the easiest job ever. I'm honestly surprised robots haven't taken those jobs yet.

 

glad we agree

 

What exception? Are you saying these people are exceptional? Are you saying they shouldn't be working full time and still have to depend on social programs because of their wage?

No, of course not. They should go get better jobs. Duh. Let them eat cake.

 

I've told IP this 500 times but he doesnt' seem to get it. the vast majority of people who work jobs at minimum wage are students and illegal immigrants.

 

There aren't oodles of jobs. There are very few jobs out there. You know, that thing you usually say is Obama's fault?

In fact, could you explain which is it? Is the economy bad and there are no jobs, or are there plenty of good jobs? Your world view seems to be conflicting.
