“Slaves also didn’t have a choice to work there or not.”
So true, if it’s that bad, go on to your “dream job” dumb food workers. Oh, except maybe you don’t have any skills, and if you do, your hero barak has made such a drag on the economy that there are no jobs.

When I was a teenager I worked FF restaurants with other teens making 65 cents an hour. We didn’t complain. The only adults were the managers. It was not considered a ‘living wage’ nor was it meant to be a permanent situation. These people apparently don’t realize that..........Of course I know that all this crap is being ginned up by the WH and their union thug cronies. Most of these protesters are just paid political hacks...............
