I could see Wal-Mart, McDonald's Dollar Tree, Burger King, and Wendy's paying pitifully. Uber and FedEx, well, I don't know how much jobs there pay. But this is something I've mentioned. Many people currently on food stamps work.

The grifter gets no respect because respect is earned. He didn't even earn the presidency, it had to be stolen for him. Oh, excuse me... It was "fortified" for him.
No doubt, you need to move to a ruby red state and maybe you'll have a different and more optimistic outlook upon your country and the world.

Yet, Trump's rich experience in driving a bunch of big businesses to bankruptcy was the experience he needed to being one of the best presidents in American history to you?

Waiting tables or selling fast food is not a job. You could even own a half dozen McDonald's and still qualify for Health subsidies. Never mind working for one. This country needs to manufacture all the stuff to allow the uneducated working class majority of this Country to stand on their own two feet. Just ask the UAW and teamsters workers that have been shrinking in numbers since Carter. They used to blame the right for this, but now we know it was always the left.

I thought the righty tighty crowd was sure the fast food places only hired part time high school students, thus shouldnt be paid a living wage.

Well seems that wasnt true, they want adult workers, they just dont want to pay a living wage. Cause part time high schoolers wouldnt qualify for unemployment so cant be bribed with unemployment supplements. YOu cant have it both ways. Either fast food is ONLY FOR PART TIME KID WORKERS, or its for full time adults. Which is it?

But hey why not go recruit in the high schools since thats the cheap labor the Republicans say fast food places need. Those rich Republican children should be exicited to work part time for $7.50 an hour shouldnt they? Give them credit to graduation.... LOL

I could care less if fast food places went completely out of business. No skin off my skinny old rear. Country would be healthier for it.

Around here finding workers is easy.Just pay them under the table so they can continue to collect UI and live the dream.The owner down the road will have a big fat SS check claiming all that income the UI collectors will have nothing for years of no income.Just the way Gov intervention fails with any positive results.I have been using the black market since 2009 and save thousands a year from oppressive taxes and stupid Gov regulations.Americans are smart and can play any gov game.

there will always be millions of losers looking for something for nothing. If only these other generations had the work ethic the Boomers have.

It's for those without skills, at any age, which is suited well for minimum wage levels. Minimum skills = minimum wages.

If you chose to have kids you can't afford, that does not change what your job tasks are worth.
