I won’t disagree with all of this. It just doesn’t seem fair to the guy or gal that truly earned their $23 an hour versus someone that just walks in the door and gets it. And, I can’t buy that people don’t have the time or money to better themselves. It’s a choice what you do with your time. Classes can be taken at night or part time. Trade schools and community colleges are NOT expensive and many trade schools are hurting for people and will train you for free, basically.

Yeah, my Beemer and big house was an exaggeration but the idea remains intact. Entry level, menial labor jobs were never designed to sustain families. They are first jobs that many of us had. The idea that they should overpay just doesn’t work for me.

So, do you think all content and books should be allowed to be viewed by young children then?

Maybe. Im also for higher wages. But NOT when its forced or the wages dont reflect the skill level of the work. The idea is that you should improve your skill set so you'll be more valuable to the job market. Continuing education, college, trade schools, whatever. Thats how we all did it. But, newer generations seem to think that Starbucks or McDonalds is supposed to provide enough income for a nice suburban house, Beemer, etc. Doesnt work that way. Those are temp jobs for teens and retirees.

Where is the outrage from the left then? They usually hate the military and spending any money on it. Oh wait… this is being funded by corrupt Joe. It’s OK then. My bad.

Great. Already overpriced, shit coffee will now double in price so purple haired college grads with degrees in gender studies can be overpaid. This just in: jobs like Starbucks weren’t meant to be the end all in life. You’re supposed to better yourself so you’re worth more on the job market and get paid more for natural reasons. Best of luck with all of this.

Relax. Why are you so angry?

If some kooky greenies dislike it then it must be a good thing.

Can’t disagree about the popular news networks. I actually read a few headlines and articles from several, just to entertain myself. I know that they all have a slant. That being said, this Ukraine thing is getting ridiculous now. A gajillion dollars and counting. Where is it all going? Anyone tracking it? Are we SURE golden boy Biden isn’t involved in some "cheesy" stuff here? His track record certainly supports it. What other nations are chipping in here? Or is it the usual: everyone hates the USA until they need money or military support. Hmmmm.

This Zalensky guy seems like a snake too. How rich is he now?

Arguing in good faith? You mean fanning the flames of the "victim" mentality. Thats fine. You choose to be a victim or take control of your life. Thats it.
