You may be surprised at how few people over 25 work min wage.

I'd bet 75% have a felony on their record.

Min wage has been training/beginning wage my entire lifetime. Its never been "livable."

We figured it out, seems like Progressives cant.

I will again ask if you legitimately think the kiosks going mainstream when these $20/hr talks gained traction is a coincidence.

And most can still get a job working construction or similar for 25-30 an hour plus over time.

Stop trying to divert and answer the question. The answer is nothing. He can do nothing because his sole goal is survival


I didn’t divert shite, loser. I answered the question.

He uses his phone. He uses the internet.

He finds better opportunities.

He digs in the dumpster to find half broken shite. Then watches YouTube videos on how to fix said shite. Then sells said shite.

He grinds it out.


I never said it was easy. I never said it was overnight. But you asked and I answered.

How does one better their opportunity?

With the fricking computer in their pocket that has the entire breadth of knowledge of the human species.


We live in 2024 where the dumbest of the dumb has access to FREE knowledge.

Don’t have a phone? You have the local library and their free computers.

Come back with another excuse.

Ok but how can they do better at current state? You complain but offer no solutions. Kinda typical of your posts tbh.

Work a second job. Take out loans. Learn a better skill. All of that takes effort though

I have done all three of those to get tow here I am today. If my lazy arse can do it, anyone else can.

Its weird that they cant seem to grasp that some people dont give a shite about anything or care about improving their situation. They dont care about having kids when they cant afford them. They dont care about raising those kids to be anything but shitheads.

Plenty of people just suck. Giving them more money just means theyre going to be giving it right back to the successful people

What kiosks are you talking about?

Ones that you input your order into or are you talking about a fully automated store with no customer facing employees?

The Filipinos here work two jobs.

Some of yall seem to think people had it better than yall do now.

My mom ran the farm and raised her siblings while being captain of her basketball team and being NHS after her dad died and Grandma had to work double shifts at a chicken plant to pay bills.

And yall cant move? Or get a roomate, second job?

Its shocking how clueless some of yall are when it comes to practicality.

I have news for you genius, those jobs either don’t exist or didn’t keep up with the times in pay.

My dad was able to pay for 2 kids working at a donuts store. Not anymore

Weird.

The Vietnamese family that runs the local Mary Lee have put several kids through private school and college.

“Not anymore”

Neither have worker skills, obviously.

Natural selection used to kill off shitty bloodlines, now welfare and government programs keep them alive.


Good luck figuring out how to keep these people alive. Theyre not capable without help, evidently.
