How do you feel about the fast food strike in the USA?

People in the U.S. are not lazy. American workers are more productive than ever, and only the rich get compensated for that increase. The average worker, who is contributing more to the economy, has not seen their wage increase, inflation adjusted, for a very long time, while the top 20% is raking it in more than ever.  And that isn't fair.

Sure, keep beliving that if you want. I had the opportunity to live 6 years in the US. And i know what im talking about. But to each its own buddy. If people wanna have a great job with a good income, dont aim for minimum wage jobs. Those are not intended to make a living off. 

 

And yet they are the most abundant job in the country!  There are more minimum wage jobs than there are high school students!  There are NOT as many good-paying jobs in this country as there are people trying to make a living and raise a family!

Also: keep believing what, exactly?  Those are cold, hard facts I was referring to, not some intangible belief.

I don't care that things could be worse, I want things to be BETTER!  Is that so wrong?  No, it's not.  Things CAN be better, things have been better before, so why shouldn't I want things to get better here?  Just because other places have it worse?  Heck no, I'm not going to say "oh well, we're not the worst place in the world, so we shouldn't try to improve."
