Jesus christ your comments are so fucking entitled, out of touch, and flat out insensitive and insulting. Of course its her fucking job. I wouldn't have used it as an example if It wasn't.
But you did catch onto another thing: there are many many families working off one income, so you can get all the "better" jobs you want, and it's still not enough.
McDonald's pays 14.50. BK pays 15.00. They are all comparable wages these days, so any move thats not into management is purely lateral.
Are you a fucking republican or something to be this delusional?
"Just get a new job" is a completely asinine take. Many many reasons people can't. Someone with a family working full time doesn't have the time or energy to develop the skills for a better job. Someone at fast food in a small town has the choice of other fast food or other retail which all pays the same.
In my wife's case, she cares for a disabled family member. If she didn't do it, nobody would. She has no choice.
Newsom's about face on policies this last year as he ramps up his run for presidency is fucking disgusting. Between him and fetterman we're learning that even 'the good ones' will throw their constituents to the wolves when power and money are involved.
This is all just taking correlation and applying causation. Right next to headlines about doom spending and people not being able to save in the first place. An extra thousand dollars a year won't do anything to really improve anyone's life situation, but it can buy a fun Christmas.
You know what would be a great Christmas? Being able to buy a house. Not having $800 a month in student loan payments. Being able e to do anything to actually advance in life.
But they don't measure anything related to improving quality if life, because they don't want you saving. They want you spending every penny and staying poor.
Drink the expensive/good stuff first is generally good, though. I'll appreciate the good stuff more while I'm still sober/buzzed, and once I'm drunk the cheap stuff is easier to drink.
Maybe not bomb hospitals and apartments? Funnel fleeing civilians through active combat zones? Maybe not force Palestinians off of their properties?
Hamas is committing atrocities that are par for the terrorism course. We should t expect them to play by the rules.
Isreal is a globally recognized and sanctioned government, committing genocide and war crimes.
Both sides need to stop.
You support the murder of innocent children. Fuck you. You are a piece of shit and you deserve to be called out.
