Oh yea I know they are poor choices.. but I live in the poorest, most under-educated, and unhealthy area in the US. There are programs that try to educate the people, and I think it has improved a bit since I have grown up. It is a very strange culture down here

I don't think they deserve to make more than someone with trade skills, but I do think 7.25 is way too low for any adult to be making. Someone else mentioned another country has a min wage for teens and a min wage for adults. maybe the US should do something along those lines. I think 15 is a bit high for a min wage.. but maybe 9 or 10.. I don't think i belong in a capitalist society. I have too much of a humanistic point of view and would rather see society prosper as a whole rather than a couple kings/rulers/lords and a bunch of peasants.

lol Yea i get a lot of shit in this country, because i think building your fortune off the backs of the poor while paying them unfair wages is kinda fucked up. I guess I'm just not a greedy person. I would rather see the community prosper as a whole than have a couple wealthy people and everyone else be poor. of my friends give me shit for this because it is kind of socialist, but i think some aspects of socialism are good. I don't need too much, and wouldn't try to take more than I need. I think if I were a billionaire I would also be a huge philathropist, and I'm glad to see some billionaires are starting to realize that they DONT need all that money, and it could be better helping others. sometimes it is very hard. coming from a disadvantaged home and coming out of poverty, and having to drop out of school in 8th grade because your parents need you to be a migrant worker with them so the family can live.. its tough. I wouldn't say these people don't have the discpline. it is a vicious cycle. they drop out of school to help the family, the wages are shit, they don't have the education to figure out how to fix it, or if they stay in school they don't have the money to go to college. My girlfriends parents both had to leave school at an early age because they had to start working to help out their family. They aren't stupid or lazy or anything. its necessity. not everyone in this country is born with a silver spoon in their mouth and are afforded the opportunities to advance themselves. I grew up with numerous kids where HS hit and you never saw them again, because their parents would yank them out of school to become migrant workers.

I'm terrible at photoshop but i think a pretty cool idea for the Battlefield crew would be to do Xtreme Idiots, but stylized in the lettering of the Battlefield Logo.

It has to do with greedy business owners also. looking out for only themselves while not really caring about the country or world as a whole. like @@little_old_man companies make sure to cut hours so that employees don't reach full time status and they don't have to give them benefits. Some companies do pay fair wages and they are doing excellent. for example costco starts at 11.50/hr , In-N-Out Burger starts at 10.50/hr, Traders Joes average is 13.20 an hour and starts at 9. They have an oppurtunity for 2/hr raise every year. Zappos the online shoe retailer call center employees get paid 16/hr. Ben & Jerry's starts at 15.97 an hour. In my honest opinion no one needs billions of dollars... It is pure greed that is going to be the downfall of this country, and maybe the world.

@@DeemerXI more on the housing shortage thing. first people moved to the city because thats where businesses, and factories were. urban sprawl started to happen and these factories and businesses moved further out of the city. most of the people who lived near where they worked could not afford to relocate to where the businesses moved... this created ghettos. people turned to drugs and alcohol to cope, and others in the ghetto found they could make money off peoples addiction and turned to dealing (because there weren't many other jobs anyways)

save it up for later probably.

There aren't enough good jobs with good pay. Someone has to do the shit work. I think if they are willing to work a full time job, and do their job efficiently they deserve a livable wage. 15 is a bit high. I think maybe 10 dollars minimum. Now back in 1970 the minimum wage was 1.45/hr.. now.. converted to 2013 dollars that is 11/hr... that seems fair. the current minimum wage does not seem fair at all. If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation over the years it would be at 10.90.... but it hasn't. People say it will cause inflation, but I think a bigger cause of inflation is the top 1% wealthiest in the nation hording 90% of the wealth. You know how we have always fixed the economy in the past. Tax the shit out of the rich, and dump the money back into the economy creating jobs.. every single time we've gone into a recession or depression this is what has brought us out. Maybe its because I live in the lowest income and lowest education rate in the nation and really see the struggle daily, but something needs to be done. It is a misconception that minimum wage earners are lazy, and stupid. Many are born into poverty, and don't have as many oppurtunitues we do to further themselves.. If you have ever worked a day in your life in the fields ( i have).. and you think that is minimum wage labor you are sadly mistaken. that is back breaking intensive labor, but most farm workers either get paid min wage or below min wage. I think unions would help out with this, but the people in charge (the rich and wealthy) who control the government and big business try to demonize unions, because the only people not to benefit from them are the rich. They don't want the poor masses who keep this country running to realize that if they organized they would have the power. Past research on how business costs rise with minimum wage hikes indicates that a 10-percent minimum wage hike can be expected to produce a cost increase for the average business of less than one-tenth of one percent of their sales revenue. This cost figure includes three components. First, mandated raises: the raises employers must give their workers to meet the new wage floor. Second, “ripple-effect” raises: the raises employers give some workers to put their pay rates a bit above the new minimum in order to preserve the same wage hierarchy before and after minimum wage hike. And third, the higher payroll taxes employers must pay on their now-larger wage bill. If the average businesses wanted to completely cover the cost increase from a 10-percent minimum wage hike through higher prices, they would need to raise their prices by less than 0.1 percent. A price increase of this size amounts to marking up a $100 price tag to $100.10. If done properly raising the min wage should not cause inflation. there have been studies and reports done by nobel prize winning economist on this.. check out this link for more info. http://www.dol.gov/minwage/mythbuster.htm

Interesting. Would you try it? I would, but then again I'm sick and would try just about anything. The Bun is made with flour enriched with Bamboo Ash, and the cheese has squid ink in it
