    So the Starbucks employee should like in eternal squalor and be grateful to barely make ends meet. But hey, those more fortunate needs their expensive coffee too, that money will trickle down any day now.

      Starbucks employees shouldn’t be rich, it’s an entry level food service job. People that make a decent living work better jobs, or are good enough at their starbucks jobs that they become manager and move up the chain to the point they can make a decent living.

        Yet they still need the ability to pay their rent to work where they’re needed.

          Yes, like in a less expensive area, where the wages they get would go a lot farther.

              This person lives in the middle of nowhere to the extent that it’s surprising that they have internet access. This person has never been near a city of more than 100,000 people and just watches TV nonstop while complaining about how horrible people are who live in different places and in different ways.

                  City lol

                  You’re not a city until you hit 1m. Until then you’re a large town with an inflated ego.

                    “You’re not a city until you hit 1m.” So what you’re saying is there are only 9 cities in the entire United States? I think you have your definitions wrong, or you live in New York / Los Angeles and have no clue what most of the US is like.
