I am a night auditor. Yes. I have a college degree. It used to be a job you can make a living wage at. No more. And don't tell me that's a high schoolers job.

Why doesn't everyone who can't make a liveable wage in the Northeast just move? Surely that's the simple solution. And many of these jobs used to be jobs you can live on. But the owners and CEOs decided - and convinced everyone else - that they themselves deserve $$$$$$ and their employees...

Again. Someone has to work these jobs. There are not enough jobs in the US that pay a living wage. Everyone can't move up to one of those.

And they should be. So should migratory the farm workers, the fast food employees and the restaurant dishwashers. I mean, this partially is because of people believing the prosperity gospel above all else.

I think the mindset of " I deserve a living wage" is the correct mindset. We aren't talking about people who get out of college and think they're going to live off of artistically painted golf balls, or the panhandling 20something who told a friend "I'M not going to work for a living. That's...

There are not enough jobs out there in the US that pay a living wage for everyone to have one. That's what you keep missing. And again, since necessary jobs like grocery store employees, retail, hospitality, restaurants, daycare, and, in some places, EMTs and firefighters, do not make a...

So your view is what, exactly? The status quo is good enough? $7.25: sounds good to me?

Yes. Minimum wage should be tied to cost of living. They're human too. Part of society - or should be. People on minimum wage are living on minimum wage from 2009. Don't tell me that prices across the board haven't gone up since 2009. $16 an hour is roughly $33,000 a year before taxes. After...

Yes, the language consistently used on these boards is always positive. Of course. Silly me. And yes, they are low paying jobs and people aren't going hack to them and GUESS WHAT? Businesses are suffering. There are restaurants and retail stores here that have limited their hours - some...

You guys keep saying "well, just get better paying jobs". Okay. Let's say everyone RIGHT NOW who makes under $21 an hour does so. Hope you like living without grocery stores, retail stores, fast food, most restaurants, hotels, theme parks and cleaners. I am constantly astonished that people...

To the right as you look at the entrance? That vibrant purple? Looks like it's a bougainvillea.

Maybe we should hold a contest for best C word. Sam can judge it and finally do something.

Clown.

Chocoholics? **whispers** Cubs fan?

Non-character buffets, cafeterias and a conveyance from the front of Epcot to the World Showcase. I agree on a fifth gate. I think a Villains land would work well. A South American Land in Animal Kingdom.

I don't pay much attention to vloggers but I want to punch them when they decide to narrate a ride. Like, shut up for the people around you. They don't want to hear you. They're there for the ride.

The median US household was $68,703 in 2019. $125,000 is more than double that.

Yes. For the average American 125K a year is a lot.

You are massively out of touch if you think 125K a year "isn't much".

Yes, that person working the line at Taco Bell makes six figures. What I fool I am. That bagger at Safeway does the same. Who knew? Today you can come from the middle lass, have that degree, be in your thirties or later and still be making $28,000 a year. The minimum wage today has the same...
