Some things have moved past stupid to the point of being absurd. Since when was working at
McDonalds a job you worked at to support your family? Sure, it might be a job you took when times were tough, or right when you were entering the job market when you were oh - 16 years old? And unless you planned on staying and moving up into management and beyond, it's never been a job that pays a "living wage". Apparently there are many out there that think if you work 40 hours a week, you should be comfortable financially, regardless of what you work at - for those 40 hours. I am practically at a loss for words.
I don't really blame the folks that are protesting. I respect anyone who works. Period. I blame the community activist types behind it, who are telling these people they deserve more. Sure they deserve more - but they have to move on and work
toward "more". Unfortunately these days everybody gets a trophy and "do you want fries with that" is supposed to get you the American dream.
Absurd.
