It isn't that simple. It's mathematically impossible for everyone to just "move on" from working a low-wage job, meaning someone has to work these types of jobs. Not everyone has the opportunity to go to college and find a better-paying career. Hell, even people who do earn college degrees are struggling right now.

Plus, most people I see working fast-food jobs are older women who probably have families to feed. You think they're working there out of laziness? Most fast-food and retail jobs are physically taxing and the work is stressful. Why would someone supporting a family work there if they could just move on? Not everyone has options. These jobs aren't supposed to be long-term careers, but some people really have no choice.

Not to mention, according to Forbes, McDonald's brought in about $27 billion in revenue last year. They can afford to at least pay their low-level workers a livable wage. Of course their greed would get in the way of that. These corporations/CEOs are running people into the ground and paying them embarrassingly low wages, all while trying to convince us that they can't afford to pay higher salaries.

It's easy to say people should just leave and find better jobs, but we are still in a recession, brehs. Sometimes you have to take what you can get.
Fast food and retail are built off the disposable worker model. When you hire a disposable worker once they make it to a year they become expendable because if you got rid of them you could plug another worker in there cheaper. Workers are just cogs.

The problem is school is a luxury for people who don't have to work all day and night to support themselves. If you don't do school in your early 20s you screw yourself because it becomes almost impossible to dedicate the kinda time you need to it once you're out there supporting yourself.

nikka you dumb as hell. the question is have you been on the streets? You quick to say some dumb shyt. I was out there for a long time.
you sound young and dumb. I never did sour hour but cats that I knew who did that never was "the man." I was on the browns and the calrissa explains it all. I had to grind to get right and the sht took a long time. what people fail to realize is just cuz you have work dont mean it sell itself ( if your smart about it) I never sold to feind i didnt know, i had to build a client base ( took damn near 6 months), I took shorts, got played, lost work, help my mans out, got bad work etc. after all the dumb shyt, I probably made 20k a year but it wasnt worth it because I had to deal with the " hood politics" that come with it. everbody that hustle doesnt live the life that ross portray, the shyt is hard work. constant setbacks, haters, police, etc shyt was a everyday struggle. stay in school lil nikka, that life is not for you
nikka stfu yo weak ass wasnt sellin shyt.

You made dat lil ass money cuz u was SCARED, scared money dont make no money p*ssy ass nikka.

nikkas out here profitin 3-4 or 5 Gs off a ONE pound. foh clown ass nikka, if u cant sell kush den you losin out here and you a lame nikka.

u never been part of dat life nikka, where is u even from i'll pull yo card right now fucc boy

some people just don't want better for themselves, dude here is an example of that.

as with most other folks in the world, he's in this position in life because he wants to be. really a non-story in my opinion.

:bryan: you trying to tell me what I did and what I didnt do gtfoh. Why the fukk would I lie on a anonymous message board to a group of heads I never meet in my life:what: please tell me the logic in that. Im not looking for coli shine, but I do know about running the streets, I do know about taking L's, I do know about getting caught up, I do know about crack heads running game. Im good in my hood ( northern blvd). Pull my card? :bryan: get your weight up before you talk about pulling cards boy. I extort fakkits like you. I can tell that you never been " about that life" as you put it. I know exactly who you are. you the sideline lines clown who seen a pound of weed and go in the house and write a rap song talking about moving weight through the interstate. You the type to bytch up when you get pulled over with a dime bag of weed in the car. You the type that go to youtube to find out how to "cook." You a bytch homie, your post count speaks for itself. I feed nikkaz families out here, fronted packs, looked out for the hood when necessary, look out for the youngins nikka im good. I never claimed to been "the boss" ( I would be lying, something I dont do clown) but the boss was checking for me. My re up was a "finger" and "31" dummy. Just like I said before, I cant talk about weed, but i do know plenty of heads that do that and just like I said before, their not in the club spending racks and all that, the money is too slow, but you wouldnt know that considering the amount of time you spend online

You think selling weed is tough? you know about it right? you "about that life" eat a dikk. I know its slow when nikkaz are constanty trying to stay afloat. nikkaz smoke weed. nikkaz that sell weed usually smoke. I guess you didnt know that, sitting on the computer all day, refreshing the screen to see if I gave you some attention, you a bytch. foh your opinion is worthless, your a lil dude to me, we send nikkaz like you to go grocery shoping where im from. Put a skirt on a start cooking fakkit.

nikka STFU

nikka siad a drug dealer makin less than a fast food worker?

Standin on the corner? lol nikka what this aint 1986.

suburb ass nikkas stay talkin about shyt yall dont kno about fucc outta here clown

Zay, shut up. You calling nikkas "suburb nikkas" like you dont live in some nice ass development in Dallas. You aint out there. Your daddy was out there grinding and worked to give you a better life and on the net frontin :stopitslime: For every dude getting it like that, there's some dusty 30 year old hustling backwards ass nikka in a stained white T barely getting enough money to buy jordans and give his babymama weave money. Then there's the jail thing. If you made $60,000 one year, then got booked for 5 years, you just wasted 5 years of earning potential. On a per average basis, you spending a year of your life in jail for 12 stacks. That's minimum wage, and what the poster was trying to point out :stopitslime: By the time you get out, Calvin should be a manager. And you back to square one, back to the block and all you got to your name is whatever you had left over from paying your lawyer, and hopefully your babymama didnt burn the rest :heh:



You not out there nikka :heh: Very few cats getting it like that. All the nikkas I know that dropped out of HS cuz street money seemed like alot at 17 looking flabby as fukk as adults :heh:
