Not every job can pay rocket scientist wages. Entry level jobs teach
people responsibility and skill and other marketable qualities.
Meanwhile, people should have paid attention in school and not gotten a
trophy for "showing up" at a sports game? $15/hr for a burger flipper
is STUPID!

It's brilliant! Just think: How many people would put up with $20
hamburgers and $3ea condiments after that goes into effect? People
would have to eat healthier foods. Win/win, wot?


Why can't people have some responsibility for their lot in life and not
just have everything handed to them or have some corrupt organization
fight for unearned benefits using extortion, threats and blackmail?

We can have that again. All we have to do is vote out the current
regime. No, I meant _both_ sides of the aisle. sigh Much more
easily said than done.
