Don’t be dim. I mean the McDonald’s job is a “first job” where you learn responsibilities, showing up on time, dealing with customer service, aspiring for something greater. Of course this could mean an 18 year old fresh out of high school, or a septuagenarian who wants to stay busy. Running the till isn’t meant to be a lifelong profession.

@AbeNormal93 @itsdesserts @UziCryptoo And the point still stands that you're expecting non-teenagers to fill executive roles, but who do you expect to cook and take orders during the day when teens are in school?

Yes, a cashier at McDonalds SHOULD be able to afford rent, groceries, & bills on just that 1 paycheque alone. THAT'S WHAT JOBS ARE FOR.

Meh, wants and needs. In my late twenties I just needed a tidy one bedroom to woo the gals and three dozen oysters on the half shell (if you can believe it, during happy hour in the Garden District I’d get them for 25 cents a piece, fresh and rinsed.) Now at 50, I just want my wife and small children to be as happy as possible.

@AbeNormal93 @sixfootcandy I'm right there with you; we're the same cohort. Doesn't mean I have to ignore objective fact. Zoomers and Millennials are doing beans and rice, too. I only ever see people over 50 eating out.

As a Gen Xer, I can tell you boomers and even my own generation comparing their 20s to today’s 20-30 year-olds needs to stop. I paid $600 for a West Hollywood apartment at 23. Today it’s $3500. Burgers weren’t $20, they were $6 to $8 in a nice restaurant. Life is not comparable. It’s a completely different world now.

@trwsenti You had me at eliminating federal and state income tax.

$65,000/year sounds great until you do the maths. $14,300 federal tax $4,970 state tax $4,973 FICA $18,000 rent $7,200 car + insurance $6,000 food $1,800 phone + wifi $2,400 utilities Left over: $5,357/year. That's $446/month to "build your future."

@trwsenti Sounds like “government” is mostly gay.

@j_fishback How about we just stop taxing productive people for being productive and they can VOLUNTARILY decide where the money THEY made should go?

Would you rather spend $200 billion to bomb Iran or…? A: give every teacher in America a $62,500 bonus B: provide downpayment assistance for 20 million young families C: build 1,300 rural hospitals

@MetaPrime001 Her flat ass must seal to that toilet seat completely.

I want this for Americans Why can't we have this?

Yes. Adults should be supervisors, shift and store managers (all positions that come with a higher wage with experience). Average rent gets cheaper with roommates. If the demand for low skilled labor is high, wages increase. Norway has no minimum wage laws. A new McDonald’s employee there averages $19.50/hr. (probably more now since I haven’t looked up the stats for 5 years). These are meant to be first jobs, not forever jobs. Believing the contrary is bigotry of low expectations.

@AbeNormal93 @itsdesserts @UziCryptoo You're immediately backpedaling. Do you think non-teenagers should be working there or not? And if they do, should they not be paid enough to afford the average rent in the area?

@runuvthemill @arielincosplay @UziCryptoo Child labor laws allow for a maximum of 20 hrs/week for teens 16 and under.

@AbeNormal93 @arielincosplay @UziCryptoo Wow, 20 whole hours? I was working 30-40 hours every week in high school and pulled through with a 3.8.

@eye_ot_republic @Thehorrorkid Emmet Till DID do. 3 black men assisted in his murder. There’s no such thing as black “Wall St.” just a couple of blocks of black-owned businesses. A black kid did do assaulting a white girl which led to blacks kicking off a race war in Tulsa. You know, to be factual.

@AbeNormal93 @Thehorrorkid I'm sorry that works of fiction and factual history offend you.

The Choctaw Vampire Hunters from Sinners deserve a prequel/spin off

@designmom Unless you’re talking rape, spreading your legs is voluntary. Not using contraception is voluntary. In vitro fertilization is voluntary.

Girls and women don’t “get pregnant.” They are impregnated. By men. Quick reminder: Ovulation is involuntary. Ejaculation is voluntary.

@MattWalshBlog @NetochkaNezvan0 When’s the execution date for the .07%?

Say what you want about the guy but he obviously ran an extraordinary campaign

@CptAncapistan …and Amazon packages.

The USPS is basically a subsidy for junk mail.

For those with selective amnesia, may present June 2022

@disagreebutter What took you so long? It took about three comments before he blocked me.😁

Aahhh, it finally happened.

@CalltoActivism National average in June, 2022- $5/gallon. Get fucked.

🚨BREAKING: A crisis is brewing in the U.S. as workers say they can no longer afford gas. A motorist in AZ said gas is $4.69, one of the highest prices per gallon he’s seen in 27 years. He has to save enough money to get to work and soon may have to walk. #UnderTrumpGasStinks

@maziehirono Quite possibly the Most Retarded person to ever serve in Congress. Good job, Hawaii.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Seven times. That's how many times Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. And every single time, Republicans have refused. They would rather protect ICE's lawlessness than protect our communities. How despicable.

@LGHendersonUtah Maybe it should be IN PERSON ONLY voting then, like it was for a couple hundred years, you corrupt sow.

The SAVE America Act requires a voter to include a photocopy of their ID in the return envelope of a by-mail ballot, violating our Constitutional right to a secret ballot.

FACT: Utah is a vote-by-mail state. Art. IV, Sec. 8 of the Utah Constitution guarantees the right to a secret ballot for federal and state elections.

@cooneycongress Yep, you’re a pheg.

I prosecuted the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, and then Donald Trump himself. One week after he took office again, he fired me. Now I’m running for Congress to defend our democracy and restore the rule of law.
