You are correct. if you choose to work hard,more than M-f 8 hours and done.

. you can move up to manager and make a grown up/ on your own, raise a family living.

8 hours x 5 days a week isnt management material. you need to work weekends and nights when the store is extra busy and the 9-5'ers have all left. add in the half wit calls in sick or they just broke up with their boyfriend.cant make it. *sniff, *sniff...

You left out some inmportant words from the DOL website: "A 1955 amendment increased the minimum wage to $1.00 an hour with no changes in coverage." That change took place on the first of January 1956.

I looked for Carbon Collective Investment and found some calculators but I did not find one that dealt with inflation. Could you be a bit more definitive in showing your “research”?

If you make $20/hr you barely get by. A 1 bedroom apt in southern California is over $2,000 a month. There are utilities and then the cost of a car and gas and maintenance.
The TAXES are so high that they are forcing people out of the state.

Here is the site and the data: Inflation Calculator

You did say "witch" and not "bitch"", so I stand corrected - but you have to admit they are somewhat interchangeable.

I am happy to have served - and I also thank you for your service. It hasn't always been a picnic, but we did what our country expected of us and we will always be proud of that and the fine young men we served with.

I do wish we could actually talk. I am not great with text communication. I understand your points/comment. In my simple mind, and it is very simple, we cannot take out more than we contribute. Contributions come in real current value, future productivity, future growth …. I don’t know the answer but the middle class lifestyle granted forever after 30 years of productive work doesn’t add up. Eating the seed corn will not work. We must leave more than we take. I am not sure how to measure that.

I do agree with the principles you are speaking of but we are also dealing with evil predatory Satanic people who have the power to steal us blind but yet say it is our fault that “they have to spend so much on us”! That none of us is ever really been taxed enough to justify our existence as living Humans on Earth.

Lets see the real books first...let’s see the Aces they have up their sleeves. Science and tech can literally feed the world and clean our air and water. God has allowed this knowledge but evil men are bottling up such knowledge. Their own Satanic lusts for pleasure, sex and riches have blinded them to the truth while they play off factions against each other and cook the books. God “owns the cattle on a 1000 hills”, I truly believe we have resources enough so that no one on Earth need starve and I believe God WILL PUSH that Fact in the Day of the White Throne Judgment. The Miracle of the Bread and Fishes shows what astounding reapings of bounty that Faith and Charity can produce thru the Hands of Christ!

I disagree with the headline. That Gen Z girl doesn’t get it. There’s no mention of Biden, the Deep State, entrenched politicians, inflation, etc. She’s just lashing out at older people in general. She doesn’t get it. Not at all. Which means she’ll just vote for Newsom, AOC, or some other younger politician who can flash a nice smile.

No, you don't get it. The politicians in power have been in power because the previous generations elected them. GenZ hasn't been voting long enough to hardly be held responsible for our current situation. You would castigate her for voting for Biden or Newsom without considering how they even came to be options on the ballot. YOUR generation put them there in the first place.

Well, yes. If you care to, please go back and take another look at my post. I am not talking about Gen Z in general. That group contains some amazing, hard-working people.

I’m talking about that Gen Z girl in particular. I watched her video. She doesn’t get it. She doesn’t understand the root causes of her problems. Many Gen Z folks do understand. She doesn’t.
