What part of her life is she responsible for? Any of it? Or is she simply a victim?
For pretty much all facets, she has always failed to do any of the work. She has taken no responsibility or shown no initiative in any area.
No education and is not trying to get any.
Doesn't care enough to do any family planning.
Considers her minimal paycheck "her" money. Handouts are for bills and "Her" money is for play.
Probably a bad employee, just barely hanging on. Calls in sick, leaves early, lazy, etc. Better employees are offered more than 15 hours per week.
Has a pocketful of excuses why she cannot do a second or third job. Probably uses her baby as most of her excuses.
Did anyone in the video tell her to get some education or add skills, a great work ethic, and to step up and get some? Probably not. That does not entrench her victimhood.

I'm literally pissed. frick that chick. I should feel bad for the thousands of free dollars she gets a year? Because she only wants to work at McDonalds. She could easily work a real waitressing job and make twice as much...but that would cut into her free shite

No doubt. But one is 26 and always complains about money. And if I'm not on his arse he doesn't do much. One of those that waits for me to find them not working in order to start the next job even though he knows how busy we are.

Do not care. I made 6.50 in college. You know what. I went on and made something of myself. People get cut because generally they are the weakest link in a restaurant. She's obviously not giving it her all. Even if she did a semi-decent job McDonald's would promote her. She's still doing it wrong. People are too apathetic. Work your arse off and grind, be enthusiastic,be on time, have great work ethic, show effort, positive body language, passionate, doing extra. That's what gets you ahead in life.

You do realize not all poor people are "lazy AF" as you claim? Some really do work hard to provide for their families and give them all they need. I was raised poor....my dad had the work ethic instilled in him to not accept handouts. It was his job to provide for us. The only time we received food stamps was a 6 month period when I was a child. My dad had hit a rough patch and went on them temporarily to be able to feed us. He could have stayed on them longer. He actually had to physically go down to the food stamp office and tell them to please stop sending them to him each month...that he no longer needed it. So please don't sweep every poor person under the "trashy and lazy" rug.
You are missing the point. The problem is not poor people. The problem is the poor people who chose to stay poor because of their actions.

I have a soft spot for people trying hard and doing the right thing. I grew up poor and have had some self induced rough spots as an adult as well.
I don't mind the company of poor people and have absolutely no disdain whatsoever, unless they play the victim card. Maybe a lot of younger folks don't realize that they are just a few generations removed from poverty, that most Southerners aren't from money. For most of us, parents, grandparents or great grandparents worked their asses off so future generations would have it just a little better.
And this is where I separate sympathy for the cold shoulder of contempt, there are too many people today who aren't making that effort to rise above poverty and taking it for granted they have the safety net not only to fall back on, but to live off of.

You are absolutely right. I look around at the people my age and for the most part we are more successful and comfortable than our parents were and they were more successful and comfortable than their parents were. We took advantage of the opportunities and sacrafices our parents made to better ourselves. I wonder if that trend is coming to an end with today's youth as I hear more and more about stories about unemployed 20 somethings still living at home with their parents with no desire to improve their lot in life.

So sad and so absurd that McDonalds corp makes millions while staff works for pennies.
GTFO of here. WTF do you think McDonald's went in to business for? To pay unskilled laborers to mess up hamburger orders?
