Minimum wage jobs aren't just for high school students anymore.

Oh c'mon HK, he doesn't much care about anybody's life circumstances, or how some insinuation he blurts out without thinking, might impact somebody. How dare anybody do what they can to earn a living wage.
The only measure of a person's worth is their value on the labor spot market.

Do you also understand Youth are entering the job market far later than we did?

Where we worked in high school or just out of. Youth today are going to collage on debt or mom and dad. When they come to the realization they have to work for a living. Then the average new worker entering the work force will be higher 23-28. We also have far to many illegal immigrants who in turn take the youth jobs away. They work those job because of not following the proper channel to come here. Assimilating in this country is important to existence. That's why in order to become a citizen one must learn some things so they can excel and move forward.

What we have is an overload in starter jobs that some are trying to live on an raise a family. None of which is the employers fault.

Well yes I would if I was a youth getting started in life.
I worked for minimum wage when it was $4.00 an hour.

If these people feel there skill is worth $15.00 an hour thay need to go find a job "WILLING" to pay them that. What a bunch of entitled losers!
You immediately damage your argument when you use the term "losers".

You start on the wrong foot and get buried what I believe you want to be the
central thrust of your argument: People should not expect much from fast
food jobs.

No, the chance to heap scorn on 'losers' and 'idiots' was the main purpose!

The "losers" are the ones protesting with an entitlement mentality.

Most of the people I see in fast food jobs look to be much much older. Very few teenagers.

Yet another post from this narcissist asshole who I might add failed to graduate high school. How much credibility does one give to such a person. If intelligence was a commodity, he would be a pauper.
