If these people are struggling to get a meal then why are they off buying pricy illegal drugs? I would think that if people are living on the edge like that that they would be better at using the saved money to buy food or put forth to help them get through their technical or college classes. Books cost money.
Ive been to stores and seen tons of clothes laying scattered everywhere or back in the section. Workers are lazy and won't fold clothes until the end of the shift or until someone says something. And folding clothes is usually busy work, what they say in fast food is if you have time to lean then you have time to clean; meaning, when its slow then they should fold clothes. Though the problem is is why would they be working at this low energy job to support a family? Or worst, why would one even choose this job to make a mere $7.50 an hour. Worst, can you believe people want to make a simple job like this a $15 an hour job? That seems like over paying for something simple and easy. I fold clothes after washing and drying my clothes and it is an easy task that I do without even putting brain power into it.
Addiction, maybe? Again, you haven't experienced life so you won't understand what that's like.
Have you really? I doubt it. How many workers were busy? Were they walking around trying to clean things, or are you claiming they weren't doing anything just because they weren't in your area foldin clothes? I'm not sure if I can trust what you say as you're a republican, and republicans have no problem lying. Almost every store I've gone to, I've seen workers fold clothes or clean up the store or do some other work, I never saw them be lazy.
1. Because they can't find a better job because companies won't hire them.
2. Because they were unable to afford college or university, thus they're stuck in that job.
3. Because that's the opportunity available to them as they may not be able to afford a better job (relocation costs and all that).
4. Why not go up to these workers and ask instead of making assumptions based on little to no facts?
It's not overpaying when these people have to deal with customers, who tend to be shitheads. How many clothes do you fold? Do you have to take care of over 100 clothes, constantly walk around the house and make sure clothes are folded and the place is clean? Again, dumb comparison because department store employees have more responsibilities.
What do you even do anyway that makes you feel so superior over people that do hard work? Sitting at your desk and writing or typing is a lot easier than folding clothes, making food, and bringing food to people.
I've also been to many restaurants with waiters and it also isn't a very high energy high brain powered job. Consider how there are many bad servers who barely check on their guests or go off in the back to fool around with coworkers and browse the internet on their iphones. These jobs are good enough for college students who don't want to take out loans, but beyond that, I would hope that no one is trying to raise a family or make it their career to take food orders, fold napkins, and fill drinks. And also no waiter is carrying that many hot and heavy plates, maybe they will carry at most four trays an hour. Easy.
It is a high energy labor job. Why don't you try being a waiter? Try balancing multiple plates on your arms and bring them to the patrons or to the dishwasher without droppin them. Or can you deal with patrons who are rude? I don't think you've been to a restaurant, or a busy restaurant, if you think waiters don't carry a lot of heavy and hot plates or only do four trays an hour.
And again, you fail to realize that in the real world, it's not easy for people to get a good job. Are you the type of patron who snaps his fingers at waiters, orders them around, and treats them badly? if so, no wonder why you get bad service. I wouldn't be shocked if they spit in your food too for being so disrespectful. If you don't show respect to people, they won't respect you.
Why do refugeees and immigrants come to America? To get and gain the American dream and opportunity. America is a land of opportunity and the country provides enough that anyone can succeed if they just put their hardwork in. Many of the big companies in our country started from people working hard, opening a store, and making great decisions to quickly make their company huge. Where was the walmart family, McDonalds, dave thomas before their companys? Simple, one was an unsuccessful farmer that kept moving, another were immigrants from Ireland whose parents worked in a shoe factory, another adopted by a father who had trouble finding stable work. There were many other entrepreneurs who weren't born into wealth and made great names for themselves. To imply that people are born into poverty and stay there is pretty insane. Any and everybody makes decisions in life. If they make the right decisions they are able to escape where they are. I don't like the viewpoint you adopt as it kind of looks down on the people who are in impoverished situations and saying they are trapped there because of the circumstances and that no matter what they do or the effort they put in in life, they will be trapped there. Suggesting they need and deserve handouts is not the solution they need or even want. Do you want them on handouts and gifts from the government for their entire life while living in run down beat down apartments?
If you actually lived in the real world, you'd know that wealth makes the biggest difference. A poor kid from a ghetto has to work 50x harder to get similar opportunities that an average, rich kid would have. If the poor kid is black, then he has to work 100x harder.
You listed white people who started decades ago. You may not like the facts, but it's there. It seems you understand almost nothing about life.
Ironically, you look down on the impoverished people and people who aren't wealthy or republican. I'm sure many of them need handouts, and they deserve handouts. It's not rocket science. If they get to pay less for housing, food, and other stuff, then that means they have more money. The more money they have, the more likely they can afford to move to a better place or get better education, which can result in better job. Have you even talked to these impoverished people, or are you just assuming stuff based on what YOU want?
You look at things from your extremely flawed and idiotic point of view instead of talking to the actual people and taking their views and thoughts under consideration. it's no wonder why this country is in a bad shape, it's because of people like you.
I said before that in America people go to high school for free and your achievements in high school can quickly results in monetary gifts to go to schools and more. Its not the parents or the countries fault if someone doesn't complete high school.Its the persons fault for making a bad decision. Its the persons fault for making a bad design if after high school they opt not to do any more schooling and are forced to end up in bottom of the barrel jobs. Its is only fair that people in these situations and jobs just end up with little to no government assistance while everyone else receives as many benefits and discounts as possible. We earned it afterall and deserve it.
In other words, "kids who study hard but still fail because of they made a bad life decision despite studying, so they don't deserve help from teachers or tutoring! Straight A kids, some who even cheat, succeed because they were dishonest so they deserve more help from teachers and free tutoring that they don't need! Let's ignore kids who need help and could pass just because they're not successful!"
I hope you don't plan on being a teacher. Last thing we need is kids who need help being ignored while "smart" kids get all the attention.
Successful people don't deserve handouts or benefits that impoverished people get. Are you dumb? Do you realize what handouts and benefits are for? They're not for people who can afford stuff, they're for people who struggle to make ends meet and need help so they have food on the table and roof over their heads. how selfish and ignorant can one get? Jeez. Go live in the real world instead of makin up shit and labeling everyone as lazy just because they aren't working in jobs you think are good.
Maybe at some point people speculated that, but it doesn't seem like it ever happened. There was even that goofy blurb about her being asked if she would appoint Obama as a Supreme Court Justice or something and liking the idea.
Of course it's his fault. I think the issue most progressives have with him is the drone strikes. Whether he's progressive enough to some or not isn't dependent on whether obstruction has been going on or not.
I think that and him deporting immigrants are getting him criticized by progressives and democrats.
At least Bernie doesn't flip flop as much as Clinton does. A lot of his beliefs have been there for decades, apparently, so it's easier to believe he's for real. Dunno if he has changed his position on anything or catered for votes. Probably on guns?
