I've read some of your other posts. If you're striving to sell the idea of a more moral society, you need to find somebody that is better at marketing than you are, haha.

My formula for success as it relates to this topic: Don't rely on Disney for income and more importantly don't waste income purchasing anything from Disney.

Try working the same exact job at Amazon, Apple or Target or and you will likely earn less, that's if they will even hire you or have a comparable job! Disney pays more in pay and job benefits that most companies, so the entire thread is crazy.

Whose problem is that? People need jobs. There are open jobs.

I don't understand why Americans refuse to increase their skills and then complain about not being able to find work. There are training programs available, low cost education programs, community colleges, etc.

Bingo!

What ever happened to roommates? When I was a low wage worker I split a 1 br apartment with 4 people. Living on your own in your own place has always been a luxury for those who could afford it.

Also people need to stop having kids if all they can do is minimum wage work.

Nope. We never have to worry about the pool of unskilled workers. They will always exist. The key is improving the skills of willing workers.

Everything costs so much in CA because they have a huge spending problem. They have tons of revenue but they just love giving things away to the illegals and homeless and expects the salary employees to pay for it. The corporations pay very little since they are global companies they have a lot of money hoarded overseas. Just ask Apple why they have billions overseas.

Is it? I've notice that on these forums, and in general, people look down on these jobs. Try telling what you said to them.

Yeah, I look down on the job. It doesn't pay enough for my needs. I don't look down on the people performing the job. Although, I would encourage anyone to think long term.
