I'm surprised McDonald'ses need anyone to work there any more. If any business was primed for automation, it's Micky Deez.

Lol. Nobody said work 37 hours a day, but the usual embellishment is great stuff.

If one can’t find a job/s for more than $7/hour, there’s definitely something wrong with them.

I get it though. The weak and entitled often have little drive to better their lives and it’s easier to expect free stuff than taking the initiative to do better.

Who is complaining about the long lines at McDonald's? People who think that those who work at McDonald's shouldn't be paid more than $8/hour? Maybe just learn how to make your own dinner at home... problem solved!

My nephew has been working for Doordash/Grubhub during the pandemic. He’s making a minimum of $20 per hour and on most days he’s over $30 per hour.

Why work like a dog with a boss for $8.80 per hour (min wage in Ohio)?

If one isn’t happy with the life they have, there’s zero wrong with working 2 jobs to be able to make more money to educate or get trained to make more money working 1 job.

The basic necessities aren’t hard to reach unless one is mentally or physically unable to reach them. Anyone with a work ethic can easily acquire the basic necessities.

Bingo...but many don’t want to work at all and think they shouldn’t have to.

Welfare, stimmies, etc... You know, taxpayer funded free stuff. After all, only around 1/2 of the people in the country pay taxes.

more "just have things" arguments. This is like something i came up with a few years ago.

People can tell you how to get from A-to-Z but can't tell you how to get from A-to-B. "Just become upper middle class". Then when you ask for step 1 you get called "weak and entitled".

LMAO
