Fast food workers across the country rally for higher wages

[Bisjac]

How about promoting safe love and only having as many kids you can afford? Also zero population growth(having no more than two kids per household).

your right man, people have been killed for saying such things.

Praise the American dream, I crossed the border from Mexico into California with just the clothes on my back and not knowing a word of English.  Now I have a wife and family with 12 kids, and I didn't have to work a day in my life, and I'll had to do is get free money from the government.

I'm sorry guys, $15/hour is just too much for your crap job.

I loving get payed $13.50 as a software developer. No fast food worker should be payed more than me, forget that stuff.
Albeit I'm still in college but this isn't an internship and I wrote a module using OpenSSL for signing the code that's deployed in our embedded systems remotely soooo...

The thing is that $8 an hour is barely enough to live
No matter what educational background (or lack of one) one has, they should always not have to worry about not having a place to live or having food to eat.
It's not just fast food workers, its a lot of people who make minimum wage
Even laborers who do all the things we don't want to do and work their asses off can make pretty crappy wages.
I just think no matter what a job is, a person should at least be able to live a healthy life with their income.

You have to understand that if the work your employee is doing is not worth $8, but you are forced to pay him that much anyways, that you will probably hire someone more experienced and will not try to train someone like a teenager looking for their first job. I make minimum wage too. In Maryland, it is ~$7.93. I am so grateful that my employer hired me even though I had no real background with bikes. I can Imagine I was a financial loss for his business the first few months I worked there. You should be payed for the value of the work you are doing, not what someone else thinks is "right".

Coming from a family of five, I'm offended!
Jk, but really, you shouldn't limit the number of kids you can have.

That's your own fault for agreeing to work for less than the value of your skill set. A company is going to try and get away with paying you as little as possible for your services, and even if you are doing significant and quality work they can and will fall back on your lack of degree as a reason to keep you at reduced pay.

i just thought id say that minimum wage jobs just isnt just flipping burgers
no need to generalize

A business interested in long term success is not going to screw their employees, If you think that your employer is doing that I would quit working there immediately.
