Well I'm glad you found a calling not everybody has this luxury. Let's face it there are parts of this country that have no jobs but fast food and Wallyworld. So does your job give you Bennie's? Health care and vision and dental pto vacations and paid family leave? Do they pay you enough that you don't have to pay SSI? Do ya get weekends off and profit sharing. If so please thank a union member. Those things only came about because of labor. Ignoring the facts is not a real answer you know that. Unless you really are an island on to yourself only I'd say that's a lonely place to be. It just me. And 80 or 90 million good hard working folks salute you now don't pull up the ladder.

    Cool I got a friend no is not as lucky. Works at Wally world 13 years. Has insurance and an illness that cost $ 4500 a month to maintain. The insurance pays 3600 of that he kicks in $900. Every month. He a manager makes 14.00 an hour. In the town he lives and can't afford to move from is fast food and wallyworld. The messed up system is a direct effect of property and income. Stuck is no way to be working 50 hour aweek+ keeping a roof over ones head with 0 mobility to change a thing. We broke it we should fix it. I think the word I'm looking for is pawn.
