TIL McDonalds didn’t used to be open during the day because the majority of its workforce was in school.

Awesome! I can put another hole in my “nitpick of minor detail that doesn’t change the main point” punch card. Two more and I get a free icecream!

Nice, another person that doesn’t care about accuracy of information in their arguments.

The information is accurate. Your interpretation of my wording is so off and away from the rest of the conversation it’s hardly worth engaging with.
This isn’t debate club, a news room, or some scientific paper. You don’t “win” anything by trying to pick apart minor word choice.
I have an incredibly hard time believing you truly misunderstood the intended meaning and weren’t just excited to score what you thought was some sort of easy dunk.
In the past, the type of jobs that older generations tend to categorize as “dead end jobs meant for students” had a significant chunk of their workforce made up of students. The stereotype didn’t coalesce out of nowhere spontaneously and entirely out of the imagination of privileged assholes.
Feel free to keep on this track if you feel the need, but I’m done.

No, it came out of propaganda, but go off on this imagined past that neither of us actually experienced.
