HAHAHA! Chick-Fil-A was keeping da man down. That’s as far as I got. Forced myself to read past the ridiculous headline. FAKE!

$13M for a fulltime position is $6.25/hour. So he obviously wasn't there fulltime, as minimum wage is around $7.15, and CFA pays more than minimum. So you really can't compare the jobs, because of course a fulltime job will pay better than part time at a restaurant. It's not a "rapid ascension" like the article calls his job progress, he simply quite a part time job and got a full time one. That's not even job ascension, he switched employers. Ascension would be if this new IT job was at CFA Corporate, and he's been moving up faster than normal. Plus, his new job is apparently at a nonprofit, so that's a whole nother thing that's not the same as the real world. Sure, it's medical care, but the world needs that whether the economy is good or bad. Not much of an indicator either way for how the economy is doing.

While I get that the point of this article is to laud the Trump economic boom, This guy is definitely not the best example to do so.
