I started typing this with multiple snide comments then thought better of it. I have some things for some of you to think about, and a "hypothetical" that i want some of you to put yourselves into that position. Sometimes people make mistakes when their young, and it can be hard to dig yourself out.
1. UPSers were saying that the top rung were getting huge increases to their wages and we were not getting enough.
2. Hostess employees were taking cuts while higher ups were getting raises.
Isn't these just what the fast food workers are saying?
Here is the "hypothetical".
17 year old "woman" meets 24 year old man.
She drops out of high school.
They move in together.
They have 2 kids.
He leaves her and disappears off the face of the earth while she is pregnant with the second kid
She was the 2nd income and was providing it with fast food - 40-50 hrs per week
She was a good worker and had worked herself into the bottom level of management
She was grossing about $16000 per year
She gets on state healthcare and WIC (this would have been before Obamacare)
The DHS will provide no monetary help as she hasn't went after the father for child support.
She has no money to go after the father in court and is unable to locate him on her own.
She is taking care of 2 kids, and all the regular bills on what is left after taxes of $16000 which is what she is earning as management
Every waking moment is either working, or taking care of a newborn and a 3 year old
Now answer the following questions.
How would you like her to improve herself? How would she find the time/money to improve herself?
