A suitable job for my skills and abilities that has me gainfully employed.
FDR said we have a right to that. Sounds like a great right to me.

That is a rather strange question. Of course they did. You did not seem to get the point of the video. Today's workers are grossly underpaid. Meanwhile business profits and CEO pay are at record levels. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
Of course many people make the error of thinking of money as a constant when it is a variable.

Just as it was described, Whataburger reminded me of Carl's Jr. as far as the menu goes.

Yes, we all know that you are very skilled at making pointless posts.
No one has denied that our parents worked for what they have. The problem is that to bet the same today people have to work much harder or longer.
Pointing out that people are underpaid today is not an attack on one's parents.

Wow! Even you admitted that job pay has stagnated. And since inflation has always existed that means they in reality they have declined. Those jobs are not out there. Let me clarify that. The jobs are out there, but t he pay is not.

Actually getting hired at such a place.
What makes it worse, I struggle to get employed even in high turnover rate, high burnout, and high demand fields.
Drive safe.

For me, starting wages are about $20/hour. It's all in the field.
But it's also all in having better social skills than other candidates, which I do not.
That last night in Little Rock put me in a haze.
Purple haze?

I think people are entitled to personal space. People by default have a right not be hugged, touched, punched, kicked, breathed on, spit on, etc. Why? Punching, kicking, and spit on, seems obvious. People are entitled to not be harassed and injured for no reason. The rest just seems like common sense.

It would be interesting to compare your starting wages to starting wages at the same sort of job in the '70's and then adjust for inflation. You might be in for a surprise. My first job in about 72 was at $1,74 or maybe $1.68 an hour. Minimum wage at the time.
Hmm, maybe it was even $1.60. That would be $11.55 today.

Your definition of entitled is obviously different to mine. Maybe you should clarify the question.
