It’s an article advocating 15 dollars an hour.
“It’s an article advocating 15 dollars an hour.”
Agreed. This is not a news story, it is propaganda. “Economic slavery” indeed. They dont even bother trying to be subtle anymore. The woman should be complemented for working so hard rather than go on welfare.
And the poor poor pitiful me narrative snuck in.
Giving her more money won’t make her any smarter.
- 37
- single mother of two
- fast food worker for 22 years
This woman clearly has an IQ in the 80s.
And, jeez loueez, has anyone read through the comments under the article?
What a bunch of mamby-pamby socialist/communist bleeding heart BS!
‘This should not be possible!’
‘Fast food chains should pay their hard working staff a living wage, which keeps pace with inflation. Surely, one of the big “four” fast food companies should step up and set an example to all that they value their staff. This would be good for their business and good for their staff!’
‘People always act like socialism is a bad thing!’
‘It is a disgrace that a country as rich as America lets this happen!’
‘Left me with tears in my eyes. Social justice and livable wages now!’
‘Capitalism is structurally unable to provide an adequate standard of living for the working-class!’
These losers couldn’t start and run a profitable business if you put a gun to their heads!
But they sure as hell know how to spend other people’s money, don’t they?
And guess what happens then? Most likely she'll be making $0 an hour, because she'll be laid off.
