Since today is Labor Day, the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation in the Sunday Business section, had to write a couple of stories about how fast food workers are having problems because they’re not getting a “living wage”. Boo-freaking-who! What kinds of skills do you losers have? Did you graduate from high school? Did you have children that you couldn’t afford? Did you look for ways to improve yourself while asking, “Do you want fries with that?” Burger flipping shouldn’t be a career. I’d link to the stories, but you would have to be a subscriber to read them.
In one of the stories it details how this dude has to take a van and a bus to get to his job at a Church’s Chicken restaurant. His wife works at a McDonald’s. Together they make $30K. They have two children. WTF? Two kids? Why did you have children that you couldn’t afford. Both of you could have gotten some additional schooling before having kids. Now you’re bellyaching about not making enough money plus you’re getting food stamps that I pay for. About food stamps he sez:
“If we didn’t get them, the way food prices keep going up, we’d really be in trouble.”
Ain’t the Obummer economy wonderful?
“We wouldn’t have enough money to pay the bills.”
Later in the story it sez he has worked at Church’s for fifteen years. Fifteen years? At an entry level job? He should be a manager by now. I see the problem here. Unfortunately for him, he’s fifty-one-years-old so he’s pretty much screwed. He was one of the people who went on the fast food workers strike on Thursday.
Yeah, I’m a hard-hearted SOB for not caring for these losers. As I’ve pointed out in a lot of my poverty posts, it’s hard to mess up in this country. As a last resort for folks who don’t have an education, there is always the military. There are all sorts of technical schools. I learned electronics in the Navy. My nephew, who is making the Army a career, learned how to be a satellite controller. Last month he graduated from Warrant Officer School and very shortly he is gonna attend Helicopter Flight School. I’d rather fly fixed wing than whirlybirds, but he’ll have nice job opportunities when he leaves the service.
But I digress.
Another person in this article also went on strike Thursday. Here’s what she had to say.
“I’m a hard worker and I do my job,
Good for you. That and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee at Mickey D’s.
so I really don’t understand why my hours are so low,” she said. “Nobody gets more than 30 hours a week here.”
Look in the mirror. What color is your skin? Black? Yep! I’ll bet you voted for Obungler didn’t you? There’s a 95% chance that you did since 95% of black voters voted for the Obamessiah. Feels good doesn’t it? The first black president. Yippee! Have you heard about sumpin’ called Obummercare? It’s been in the news a lot lately. Did you know that it sez that a full time worker is anyone working over 30 hours a week and the employer will have to provide health insurance for full time employees under Obummercare the Affordable Care Act? Talk about an oxymoron.
E. J. Dionne wants us to quit calling it Obummercare because it’s – wait for it! – raaaaa-cist! It’s another one of those dog whistles that apparently only liberals can hear. What he seems to be overlooking is it was the Dimocrats in the LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party who stared calling it Obummercare first. Obeauzeau was proud to have it named after him, just as he’s proud to have his dog named after him. I’m surprised his kids aren’t named after him. Maybe Moochelle wouldn’t let him do that.
But I digress, once again.
Congrats! You just got screwed by Obumbler and the Dimocrats and you didn’t even have to take your clothes off. Yep. What we have here is another uninformed voter who voted for skin color. Didn’t matter if he was qualified or not. He was black and he was a Dimocrat so that was all that mattered.
At least she is going to school. That’s a good thing. She wants to be an artist. Lots of demand for that job.
Under her picture it sez:
Since the recession technically (emphasis mine) ended four years ago, nearly 80 percent of all jobs created were low wage.
Do you remember when Chimpy McHalliburton Bushitler was president and the LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party and Dimocrats like the SCoaMF kept telling us during the Bush recovery that 5 percent unemployment was a jobless recovery? Yep. Me too. What does that make 7 percent unemployment? Oh Yeah. “Funemployment”. “Green shoots”, “Recovery Summer”. Let’s here it for Obamanomics!
Just as an aside here, blacks did far better under Reagan and both Bushes than they have under Obumbler but isn’t it nice to have a president who looks like you? Even if he is incompetent.
This is what you get when you mix affirmative action Diversity (All Hail Diversity!) with the Peter Principle.
Elections have consequences. Poor and black people hardest hit.
