Nobody wants to work fast food as a career, that's correct, but statistically there are gonna be a whole lot of people that end up working it as a career anyway. More than 75% of jobs in the US are service industry positions, and fast food is unfortunately an essential industry in the US.
You already acknowledged that these jobs are shitty and you wouldn't work them yourself. So it doesn't matter that you consider fast food "unskilled" labor. If demand for workers far outstrips the supply, which is what's currently happening in the US, these corporations have no choice but to raise wages and provide other incentives. Nobody wants to work 40 hours a week and then go home to a cardboard box, still broke as a joke.
Better idea: just make minimum wage a living wage so that taxpayers don't have to keep subsidizing poverty wages through welfare and food stamps. Corporations are fucking us both coming and going as things stand now.
Because it's a fucking wall in the desert. It took four years to build like ten miles of it, and that's already falling apart. I can think of a million better vanity projects to waste billions of dollars on. Also: Mexico is not our enemy.
Absolute nonsense. Corporations' sudden willingness to increase wages and provide more benefits now shows that they had the means to do it all along, and with almost no real effect on their bottom line. Demand better from your employers and everybody else's, because they will exploit you in every possible way if given half the chance.
