But, these are only burger flipping, janitor, car-washing jobs

I'm really getting tired of this line... Do people really think that there is a great sudden need for wait staff and car wash attendants? These jobs are now coming open because the people who were working there have finally found the BETTER JOBS and have quit the other ones, thus leaving a large glut of vacancies. The GOOD JOBS don't have to advertise the openings, because they have a drawer full of resumes to pull from. Why waste the money?

If you were being sarcastic, my apologies...

Yes, if you had read my entire statement you would have seen it was sarcastic!!!! What I said is what the libs are always whining about that the jobs are meaningless, worthless, non-bennie jobs, low waged, etc, etc, etc. They seem to think every job created should be $100,000 a year plus all bennies, for high school dropouts who have no skills or experience.

I watch daily on the ferry which I ride from Bremerton to Seattle and see the lost people who made crummy decisions in life commuting to Seattle to work in deadend jobs, making minimum wage (WA state is about $2 higher than the fed min wage by the way), and whining that they are working for peanuts. They are unwashed, dirty looking, ragged clothes, or crummy dressed. They are uneducated, unprepared, unskilled workers. They think they should be CEO of Microsoft or something. One woman I see every day is about 25 years old. She has three kids, no husband, and the kids are all from different men from what I have been told. She is grossly overweight, unkempt, and a high school drop out. She thinks the government should give her health care and extra money to take care of her kids. She says the old demo line, "the rich have all the money. It is Bush's fault that I lost some of my benefits!!!" Her stinking benefits???? Excuse me, those are not benefits. Those are free, vote buying, HANDOUTS! At every worker's expense! Yet, this fat slob wants us to carry her miserable butt through life for the stupid decisions she had made. Sorry, I'm not in a forgiving mood for these stupid people. Heck, I knew at 18 when I left home and joined the Army that life was on me. My mother and father preached that if I was not going to college right after high school, then I had to get a job, get a skill, go to work. I worked before I went into the Army and went to college at the same time. I wanted a break from school so chose to enter the Army.

So, in answer to your question, yes, I was being sarcastic, I am very sarcastic to these individuals!!! I am sick and tired of the "poor me" crap! Sick and frigging tired of it!!!!!
