That’s the problem: These entry level jobs were designed to be part-time and for teens, young people and in my area retirees - as an entrĂ© for the non-skilled into the working world. MacDonald’s taught these workers valuable skills such as showing up on time, cleanliness, neat appearance, listening to a boss or manager. College allowed them to move out of those jobs into something better. The opportunities are there.

Problem is, too many adults that have these minimum wage jobs consider them careers, and have no intention of “bettering themselves” and moving up - and demand a living wage.

The leftist call private businesses “greedy corporations,” just as the Soviets did, and demand they pay a $15/hour wage. The supermarkets and corporations are fighting back by mechanizing as much as possible and using self-service whenever they can.

This is especially acute in California where the local pols have driven up minimum wage - along with oppressive regulations.

They’re hurting the very people they purport to serve.

Note to the working poor: With friends like this, who needs enemies.

Trump had record low unemployment.

Deep State didn’t like that, did it.

Deep State is the enemy.

If we ever get a chance at an honest election again, vote accordingly.
