Cafeteria workers with three kids wonder why they aren't living American dream

“Here” is just a few miles from Zuckerberg’s five-house compound in Palo Alto and mere blocks from Facebook’s sprawling Menlo Park headquarters. Here, on a quiet street of modest bungalows, Nicole and her husband Victor, who also works at a Facebook cafeteria, live in a two-car garage with their children, aged nine, eight and four.
quote:
Working at a Facebook cafeteria is an enviable job in many ways. Nicole earns $19.85 an hour as a shift lead, while Victor makes $17.85 – well above the $15 an hour minimum for contractors that Facebook established in 2015.

Bruh, having children you can't afford to raise is a right.

Compared to 90% of the rest of the world, this is a dream

That garage is probably bigger than most Bay Area houses.

Sounds like Democrat logic to me.

If everyone had a right to a house in a nice neighborhood, it would no longer be a nice neighborhood.
Would you want to live next to everyone on the PT board, OT, Rant, and Outdoor Board?

They make almost $40 an hour combined and live in a garage! That's more than I make and I have a 1900 sq, ft. House in a nice safe neighborhood. That makes think that they need to move out of California.

They won't make 40 an hour at any other cafeteria

I live just a few miles from Tom Benson, I think I'm entitled to a couple of million dollars.

Low skill work pays low wages. Who would have thunk it?

Life choices have consequences! Having a kid at 17 isn't going to get you on the fast track to success.

They need to move out of Pablo Alto and commute. That's some of the most expensive real estate in existence.

That's almost 80k a year if they are both full time. If they can't live the American dream on that income they have some serious money management problems

$20 per hour to be a cafeteria worker - holy shite! Those better be some good chicken fingers.

Living Wage Calculator
Living wage in the Silicon Valley area for 2 adults and 3 kids is $23.25. These people make well above that. I'd say they're doing all right and living a better American dream than a lot of people, especially cafeteria workers.

I worked in a glass factory for a summer when I was in college filling in for people on vacation and such. I pretty much did every crappy job in the plant. I told my dad once "I would think the guys doing the shitty jobs in the heat around the molten glass would get paid more."
He told me they don't make much because anybody could do it. That's always kind of stuck with me.

What is the point of an article like this is my main question? Should cafeteria workers make more than 20$ an hour???

It's entirely about the redistribution of wealth
