so tired of hearing the likes of fast food workers and jobs like that complaing theydont make enough to make a living. reality check here. those kinda jobs aint meant to make a living. there starter jobs temp job. not jobs you stay at forever. there jobs you get starting out young and then you work your way up in life. you dont just stay at a bottom level job and demand to be paid like folks working better jobs. just craziness
You were given a paid-for working farm which I presume included equipment, livestock, and maybe even a customer base for your crops. You didn't build that from the bottom up...your father and perhaps his father before him built that business. There are generations of Americans who never even had a chance at that advantage.
I'm not saying you don't work hard but don't act like you did it all by yourself because you didn't.
And because those at the bottom of the pay scale aren't paid enough neither are those above entry level. A single person should be able to live on the wages of a 40 hour a week job
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
