During a Google Hangout session on Friday, fry cook Darnell Summers told President Obama that his hours were cut due to the Affordable Care Act. “We were broken down to part time to avoid paying health insurance,” he said. Summers explained that he makes $7.25 an hour and has been on strike four times seeking a wage increase. “We can’t survive, it’s not livin’,” he said.
The president responded by urging states to increase the minimum wage. “I am working to encourage states, governors, mayors, state legislators to raise their own minimum wage,” Obama said. “Obviously, the way to reach millions of people would be for Congress to pass a new federal minimum wage law. So far, at least, we have not seen support from Republicans for such a move.”
The president did not address Summers’s comments about the healthcare law.
> How immature and stupid do you have to be to reach adulthood and STILL think there is anything in this world that’s free?

I think they’re figuring out he’s not really for the “little guy”
I have read recently where some fast food industry giants are putting alot of money into automation development. Soon you will pull into the drive-thru and your food will be assembled and delivered by BurgerBot3000. Minimum wage problem solved.
The fry cook’s error is assuming Obama cares.
So, do something about it.
When I met my wife I had a full time job, three part time jobs and was going to college three nights a week.
It seems like I was tired and hungry for years but it paid off.
