    Riiiiight… asking for people to stand on their own with marketable skills is apparently a huge ask these days from some. Just come out and say you are lazy and want hand-outs.

      People who work minimum wage jobs are lazy now? You’re the type of person who demands to speak to the manager when your burger takes longer than 30 seconds to arrive at the drive-through window, aren’t you?

        People who work in fast food do not make minimum wage

          Correct, they make around $1 above minimum—~$8.45 on average—which is around $2 above poverty wage…

          Even $15/h isn’t enough to survive in a non-rotting apartment, unless you walk to work, don’t eat any healthy nutritious foods, and give up on any and all hobbies/interests.

            $15/hr is $30k/year, and an enormous amount of people live on that. Median income in my state is 31k/year.

            Not everywhere is LA.

          Ah, so now I’m a no-skill worker who doesn’t deserve to get paid enough to survive.

          Fascinating.

      yes, in the future, everyone will be a software developer, and no one will stock shelves, deliver mail, or any of those “no-Skill” jobs that seem to need doing lest our economy collapse

      I am entirely pro-handout, and I’m not lazy at all. I’m not even a socialist lol

      Giving poor people money, straight up, is the second best thing we could do to grow our economy, in general.
