So are you saying you think people shouldn't be able to make a living at doing a job unless the work is hard enough?

These jobs were never designed to support a household. They were ways to make some money while attending college or learning a trade.

"How can I pay a mortgage, car payment, and a cable bill for $15 an hour?"

Fast food places will simply replace workers with automated kiosks. It is the small businesses that are going to suffer. The corner market can't afford to compete with Wal-fucking-mart as it is, now they will go belly up. Same with the pizza place.

At the end of the day, Businesses will will work out an 'under the table' payment plan with their employees, or close thier doors. But don't worry, maybe companies like Amazon or Google will send you a pizza once in a while.

I can just about guarantee that anyone working fast food or retail is working harder than you, you miserable piece of shit. "Not designed to support a household," get fucked. People like you are scum.
