To the thread -- step outside of your mental comfort zone and think deeper about things.
Obviously no one should make decent money as a regular employee at a fast food restaurant.
It's not as simple as 'go get a better job' -- there are college grads that can't find a job that matches their education. As a whole it's not as simple as 'go make your life better'.
Think. Ask. Wonder.
What role does our centralized food system play in this?
Why does the average meal travel over 1,000 miles before it's eaten?
Why are we dealing with such a high percentage of service industry jobs in comparison to production jobs?
Is capitalism really working for the betterment of the planet and our species as a whole, or is a small fraction benefiting while the majority suffer and the planet dies? (But the poor have flat screens).

Ok.

I think many "smart" people, don't research the fields they want to go into or the job outlook, before taking the path towards it. I wonder why educated people don't have the foresight to plan their future out sometimes. Also, this has nothing to do with 38 year old adults complaining about not making $15 an hour at Burger King.

Beats me. What role does it have on people with little to no job skills trying to perform a job?

For who? Some people mainly buy local now a days. Some, like myself grow much of what they eat. Why generalize and again, what's it got to do with a high school dropout not making $15 bucks an hour to flip a burger or drop French fries into a deep fryer?

Ahh.. something I can get into. DEMOCRATS, ENTITLEMENTS AND LABOR UNIONS! There ya go. Your socialism and communism leaning policies led to the destruction and fleeing of manufacturing jobs and has helped turn this country into one of service oriented and not one of production. Thanks Obama. And Clinton and Carter and FDR...

Capitalism rewards the smart, hard worker. The way it should.

You are the wrongest person in the history of wrongness. I'll leave it at that, unless you're truly good enough to entice me to fully explain why. For now the motivation is not there.

Capitalism doesn't have anything to do with it. No matter what economic/political system you have in place, the rich make the rules to benefit them or just cheat the system and get away with it. I'm not saying there isn't a better system, but there hasn't been one thus far in modern history.
