  This is one of those “I’m 16 and this is deep” moments.

  Like no shit. Also when the sun rises, the temperature does too!

    “I used to work at McDonald’s making minimum wage. You know what that means when someone pays you minimum wage? You know what your boss was trying to say? "Hey if I could pay you less, I would, but it’s against the law.” ― Chris Rock

    Good to know that things ultimately haven’t changed in the last 100 years or so… The rich and powerful have always been selfish pricjs.

  Imagine being a conservative, being on the wrong side of history and virtually every issue, and never catching a clue. Pathetic

    Well, they never get punished for it, so what’s the downside?

  Every ten years like clockwork, for about the last one hundred years, we complain about the fact that minimum wage is not enough to live on. Every ten years, like clockwork, nothing changes and the rich get richer. Is anything “for the people” anymore?*

  Minimum wage is your boss yelling you that he’d like to pay you less, but it’s AGAINST THE LAW!
